Abstract

Differentiated cells had long been thought to be non-dividing, though we now know many can proliferate after injury. A new study by Leushacke et al (2017) shows how injury recruits mature, Lgr5-expressing gastric chief cells to become stem cells that can either regenerate damaged tissue or fuel precancerous lesions.
