This critical examination of epithelial cell populations analyses the principles of their organization. It gives special emphasis to epithelial cell lineages, three-dimensional organization, methodology for measuring population sizes and proliferative rates, epithelial stem cell populations, growth reactions, response to cytotoxic insult, carcinogenesis, and epithelial growth control. Volume 1 covers the organization of epithelial cell populations, and organization and renewal in stratified squamous epithelia.
