Abstract

Stem cells held in reserve Two main epithelial stem-cell pools have been previously identified in the small intestine epithelium, but the relative functions of these two pools and their interrelationship are not well understood. Using genetic lineage tracing and lineage ablation studies in mice, Frederic de Sauvage and colleagues have now found that Lgr5-expressing cells are dispensable for normal intestinal homeostasis — the renewal of the epithelium every few days. In the absence of these cells, Bmi1-expressing cells act as a reserve stem-cell pool and replenish the active Lgr5-expressing stem cells.
