Abstract

The intestinal epithelium displays great resilience, as several cell populations can replenish the stem cell pool upon damage. Two studies inCell Stem Cellextend this capacity to enteroendocrine cells, addressing the molecular basis underlying cellular plasticity observed in the intestine and the identities of putative reserve stem cells.
