Does hIV infection of human fetal intestinal explant cultures induce epithelial cell proliferation?
This study provides direct evidence that HIV stimulates epithelial cell proliferation in intestinal mucosa. HIV-infected human intestinal explants provide a model of crypt hyperplastic villous atrophy previously described as HIV enteropathy and detected in clinical biopsy specimens from HIV-infected patients.
Dentists from rural communities were more likely to practice in rural communities than were dental students from urban areas.
