ResumoProgress in our understanding of the nature of biological transport systems characteristic of intestinal tissue has been closely paralleled by the development of methods which allow various aspects of transport to be evaluated. Indeed, the rate of growth in our understanding of intestinal transport is to a high degree determined by the rate of development of innovative techniques coupled with ever-growing bodies of knowledge in biochemistry, physiology, and related biological disciplines. Any historical overview of a basic science will reflect the quantum leaps in understanding which are in part produced by innovations in methodology and are in part the driving force for further innovation. Necessity may be the mother of invention, but invention is both the mother and daughter of basic research.
