Unraveling the mysteries of stem cells in inflammatory bowel disease

Three investigators at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Nandini Girish, Dr. Cambrian Liu, and Dr. Brent Polk, talk about their recent work to visualize the fates and functions of epithelial stem cells in models of inflammatory bowel disease with Editor-in-Chief Professor Mark Frey. The investigators discuss their diverse backgrounds, reveal how they started the work, and begin a spirited debate on the relative values of minivans and dogs and cats.
