The Stomach's Silent Regeneration

Deep within our bodies, the stomach performs a vital role in digestion, protected by a specialized mucosal lining that prevents self-digestion. This lining is renewed approximately every three days through the proliferation of epithelial cells from stem cells. This regenerative process highlights the resilience of human biology. However, disruptions can lead to serious conditions like gastric ulcers, emphasizing the importance of this intricate mechanism in maintaining our health.
