Stem Cells in Epithelial Tissues

J. M. W. Slack

Most, if not all, epithelial tissues contain stem cells. They are responsible for normal tissue renewal or for regeneration following damage. Our present knowledge of their properties is limited and is mainly derived from studies of cell kinetics and from clonal analysis.
