Differentiation of immature mucous cells into parietal, argyrophil, and chief cells in stomach grafts.
Microscopic and submicroscopic studies on regenerating gastric mucosa neonatally grafted in the subcutaneous tissue of littermate mice have revealed that immature mucous cells are totipotent; ultimately they transform into mature mucous, parietal, argyrophil, and chief cells in the gastric glands.
