Glycyrrhizin, a natural licorice compound, significantly reduces intestinal inflammation and cell death, offering fresh hope ...

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

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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