The differences between fetal and adult intestinal stem cells are unclear, and understanding this relationship could present novel therapeutic opportunities. Fordham et al. (2013) and Mustata et al. (2013) report a potential source of transplantable epithelial cells from fetal gut that can convert into adult intestinal stem and differentiated cells.
胎儿和成人肠道干细胞之间的差异尚不清楚,而了解这种关系可能会带来新的治疗机会。Fordham 等人(2013 年)和 Mustata 等人(2013 年)报道了一种来自胎儿肠道的可移植上皮细胞的潜在来源,这些细胞可以转化为成体肠道干细胞和分化细胞。
