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

干细胞：所有固体都融化到空气中。

肠上皮显示出很大的弹性，因为一些细胞群可以在受损时补充干细胞库。细胞干细胞的两项研究将这种能力扩展到肠内分泌细胞，解决了在肠道中观察到的细胞可塑性的分子基础以及推定的储备干细胞的特性。
