Dynamics of the mucosa of the small intestine in idiopathic steatorrhoea

B Creamer
PMCID: PMC1413386  PMID: 14023744

Abstract

The turnover of cells in the abnormal mucosa of the small intestine of idiopathic steatorrhoea has been studied. Evidence is presented that the abnormal mucosa is the result of a maturation arrest of the epithelial cells.
