The article presents the authors' views on the impact of new experiments and mathematical models of the intestine on the progression of stem-cell research. It states that the new studies on intestinal stem cell divisions provide new hope on the discovery of more significant information related to stem cell field. Furthermore, it notes that the determination of stem-cell numbers in intestinal crypts could lead to new cancer treatments.
