Studies of cell shedding in the intestine
Intestinal epithelial gaps have only recently been returned to for further study, and most of this work has been carried out in mice. In the past identification of epithelial gaps in human intestinal mucosa has been questionable because of the limitations of conventional microscopy. In collaboration...
