Title: How many new somatic cells does a person produce every second?
Post by: thedoc on 15/08/2016 17:23:02
Donald Piniach asked the Naked Scientists:
   As an adult male, 70kg, 45y, in good health,  how many new somatic cells do I produce every second? Rbcs don't count! Could this be measured by  labelling somehow? What percentage have defects?
What do you think?
