The intestinal epithelium with its regular organization into nearly identical crypts is a well-established experimental system in radiobiology and stem cell research. A particularly attractive feature lies in the fact that it allows quantitative studies of the stem cell niche in homeostasis and under genotoxic stress, often induced by ionizing radiation. By scoring large numbers of equally treated crypts for their success in regeneration, effects can be precisely quantified. However, this thinking...
