Figure 5 Musashi 1 immunoreactive cells in duodenum.
A: A healthy subject; B: A patient with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Musashi 1 is a marker for intestinal stem cells and their early progeny. The density of Musahi 1 cells in healthy subjects is higher than that of the IBS patients. Furthermore, Musashi 1 cells in healthy subjects appear to have more proliferation activity than that of IBS patients.
