The finding, in one line

While I found ample evidence of production of new crypts from direct in vivo studies in adult mice, I failed to find evidence of crypt loss.

Abstract (excerpt)

Stochastic theories of stem cell renewal are shown to predict turnover of intestinal crypts. While I found ample evidence of production of new crypts from direct in vivo studies in adult mice, I failed to find evidence of crypt loss. Thus,…
