Nature cell biology, 2017•nature.comSeveral markers of gastric stem cells have been identified in recent years. Now a study
demonstrates that Lgr5 marks a population of reserve stem cells located at the base of the
corpus glands of the gastric epithelium, and that these cells can also act as a cell-of-origin
for gastric tumorigenesis.
