Cell Turnover Rates: Find Organ/Tissue/Cell Rates

[stochastic]

I've heard that the human body completely renews all of its cells in seven years; the pancreas in 24 hours.

I've been trying to find a website that lists the turnover rates for each organ, tissue or type of cell. If anyone has a link or a book with that kind of information, let me know.

Thanks ^_^

I couldn't find any useful links. As you note, the replacement rate is highly variable.

But the 'seven years' also came up here, in an oddly related way:
