Method Primary source abstract:"The frequency of labeled mitoses method (FLM) was used to study the cell kinetics in the stratified squamous epithelium of the mouse esophagus and tongue. FLMs were generated by injecting tritiated thymidine (TdR) at two different phases of the mouse circadian system..."
Comments P.3 right column 4th paragraph:"In mouse lingual epithelium, the duration of S-phase is ≈5 h while G2+ half of M phase is estimated at 4.2 h [primary source]."
