A new study published in Stem Cell Reports demonstrates how a human stem cell-derived model of the intestine can be used to ...

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 ...

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

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 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 ...

Dynamic switching between revival stem cells and conventional intestinal stem cells enables efficient tissue repair without exhausting the stem cell pool, report researchers from Institute of Science ...

Scientists explain how tiny gut bacteria influence your body’s health and why many animals on Earth are still waiting to be discovered.

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 ...

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 ...

A new study reported in Nature has determined that the amino acid cysteine could promote regeneration among cells in the small intestine. The work showed that cysteine can activate an immune signaling ...

Researchers found that a small population of immune cells in the mouse intestine prevents allergic responses to food, suggesting that targeting such cells therapeutically could potentially lead to a ...
