| Comments |
P.160 bottom paragraph:"The frequency of cells in mitosis in a population of cells is the mitotic index (MI). In rapidly-proliferating cell populations the MI can be as high as 10 per cent, and in slowly proliferating populations the MI can be extremely low, down to at most about 0.1 per cent as in thyroid, liver, and kidney epithelium (primary source)." |
