A new identity for the elusive intestinal stem cell - pp818 - 819
Eduard Batlle
The tremendous regenerative power of the intestinal epithelium has attracted considerable attention to the crypt as a model for adult stem cell biology. A new study now identifies the Polycomb group protein Bmi1 as a specific marker of intestinal stem cells in vivo.

Lung stem cells in the balance - pp822 - 823
Saverio Bellusci
Wnt ligands are secreted glycoproteins with critical roles in organogenesis, cancer initiation and progression, and maintenance of stem cell pluripotency. A new study strengthens considerably our understanding of the role of Wnt signaling in progenitor cells of the lung epithelium during development and injury.
