Several markers of gastric stem cells have been identified in recent years. Now a study demonstrates that Lgr5 marks a population of reserve stem cells located at the base of the corpus glands of the gastric epithelium, and that these cells can also act as a cell-of-origin for gastric tumorigenesis.
近年来,已经鉴定出了几种胃干细胞标志物。现在的一项研究表明,Lgr5 标记了胃上皮体腺底部的储备干细胞群体,这些细胞也可以作为胃肿瘤发生的起始细胞。
