Twenty-one medical students with an average age of 23.3 +/- 1.5 years and no family history of large bowel cancer had a rectal biopsy taken for in vitro incorporation of tritiated thymidine (3HTdR). The number and position of labeled epithelial cells in this group was compared with an older control

Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with a reduction in serum and red blood cell folate levels that may contribute to colonic carcinogenesis. Sulfasalazine may exacerbate such deficiencies. Indirect evidence suggests that folate supplements reduce the risk of colonic neoplasia in those using th
Background: Epithelial barrier disturbance is thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases; however, it remains unclear whether it is a primary defect participating to the onset of inflammation or only a consequence of sustained inflammation. ## Methods: A time course
## Abstract The change in spatial pattern of retinal cell production that occurs after midlarvae stages in __Xenopus__ is shown to occur because of a greater proliferative response to thyroxine in the ventral than in the dorsal margin of the retina. The asymmetry of retinal cell production is not c
