Abstract

Epithelial Defense Force: The nature of the cells that maintain and heal the epithelium lining the esophagus has been controversial. Doupé et al. (p. 1091 , published online 19 July; see the Perspective by Kushner ) show that, unlike many other tissues, mouse esophagus is devoid of slow cycling stem cells. Instead, the epithelium is maintained and repaired by a single population of proliferating cells that can switch rapidly from homeostatic behavior into “repair mode” in the vicinity of a wound.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
