| Comments |
P.371 left column:"Enterocytes constitute up to 90% of epithelial cells in the crypt and more than 95% of villus cells (primary source). Studies designed to identify the mechanisms that control the enterocyte differentiation have been largely confined to cell culture models, and this area of intestinal growth remains poorly understood (Hermiston et al., 1994)." |
