Abstract: Recently tissue specific stem cells from mammals have been isolated, characterized and grown in three-dimensional cultures producing faithful organoids composed of all the cell and tissue types of the organ [1]. In all cases of diverse tissue specific stem cells the WNT signal transduction pathway functions to promote replication of the stem cells and is regulated by R-spondins acting upon G-linked receptors, LGR 4, 5 and 6, which prove to be excellent biomarkers for these stem cells [1).
