title: Transforming growth factor beta mediated programmed cell death in tissue regeneration of the murine intestinal mucosa.
abstract: Programmed cell death (PCD) is a key phenomenon in regulating cell-numbers. Apoptosis is essentially required for a balanced homeostasis between cell proliferation and cell death in multicellular organisms. Apoptosis is especially relevant in the gastrointestinal tract, as the mammalian intestinal mucosa undergoes continual epithelia cell turnover.
