Abstract
The lifespan of our own cells is a curiously muddy area of medical science. If we are to correct genes, transplant new tissues or correct biochemical defects in individuals we need more information on such cellular ecology: what are the cellular birth rates, intermitotic times and death rates? We need to know the same parameters for populations of foreign cells too, as we are born with a population of circulating maternal cells and probably acquire more from breast-feeds and therapeutic interventions such as blood transfusions or transplants.
