Stem cells that reside deep within these crypts divide and spin off a regular supply of daughter cells, which then differentiate as needed to replace the colon-lining cells. These stem cells are anchored there, and their job is to continually produce daughter cells that then further divide nine times, together generating about 2,000 cells per iteration. Instead of sperm, ACT scientists use a mix of chemicals and hormones (brain substances) to persuade the egg to divide into two identical daughter cells, then four, etc. |
