In recent years, the existence of neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult mammalian brain has been confirmed. The generation of new neurons from these cells is regulated by growth factors, hormones, and environmental cues; however, the function of newly generated neurons in the adult brain remains elu

A generally accepted model for the origin of human cancer is that tumours arising from the gut-lining epithelium-the adenomas and carcinomas-are of clonal origin, i.e., they are derived from a single 'abnormal' cell. Recent work has shed considerable light on these matters and suggests that this mod
## Abstract Previous work has suggested that many stem cells can be found in microanatomic niches, where adjacent somatic cells of the niche control the differentiation and proliferation states of their resident stem cells. Recently published work examining intestinal stem cells (ISCs) in the adult
