An IBEC-led study describes the development of an innovative method to control the formation of crypt-like structures and ...

With autoradiography, a decreased half-life of 3 H-leucine in crypt cells was noted in rats 5 and 21 days of age, compared with fully weaned rats 32 days of age. These observations indicated that ...
