A research team led by scientists from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in São Paulo, Brazil, has made significant ...

Dynamic switching between revival stem cells and conventional intestinal stem cells enables efficient tissue repair without ...

Human organoids are 3D cell cultures derived from adult stem cells and maintain the variable distribution of epithelial cells seen in primary tissue. They can recapitulate the mechanisms of epithelial ...

Cells on the inner surface of the intestine are replaced every few days. But, how does this work? It was always assumed that cells leave the intestinal surface because excess cells are pushed out. In ...

How does the gut cause Multiple Sclerosis? New research identifies the MHC II protein in intestinal epithelial cells as the trigger for MS-related neuroinflammation. Discover how gut-primed T cells ...

Researchers have established a direct experimental link between inflammatory signals in the intestinal lining and the kind of ...

The capacity of intestinal stem cells to maintain cellular balance in the gut decreases upon aging. Researchers have discovered a new mechanism of action between the nutrient adaptation of intestinal ...

Researchers discovered a gut-liver serotonin axis where intestinal bacteria activate liver immune cells to clear drug ...

Tuft cells are present throughout the intestinal tract as well as in many organs. Studies in mice have shown that when tuft cells sense the presence of pathogens, they signal to immune cells and to ...

A recent study comparing young and aged mouse intestinal tissues revealed a delicate balance between IFN-γ signaling and ERK/MAPK signaling as crucial for maintaining the intestinal stem cell ...

The trillions of microbes in our gastrointestinal tract, known as the gut microbiome, are crucial to the body; the gut microbiome aids in digestion, nutrient absorption, and influences our health in ...
