Abstract
The adaptive response of the intestine to massive bowel loss results in an expansion of the goblet cell population in addition to greater numbers of absorptive enterocytes. Although the mechanism and purpose for selective expansion of these stem cell-derived lineages are not presently known, epidermal growth factor receptor signaling appears to be a common pathway.
