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

Researchers found that intestinal tuft cells signal to crypt enterochromaffin cells by releasing acetylcholine, triggering serotonin release and activating a gut-to-brain vagal pathway during type 2 ...

During drug development, researchers need to perform adequate nonclinical testing to ensure a drug’s safety and efficacy before starting clinical trials. An important aspect they must evaluate is a ...

Chemical and Biological Engineering PhD student Max Yavitt is the lead author on a new paper in Science Advancesthat focuses on intestinal tissue research. The work could allow researchers to control ...

Pythons may hold the answer to another way to regrow our guts, a group of researchers led by the University of Texas at Arlington finds. In a recent study published in the journal Proceedings of the ...

The human small intestine is an essential organ that helps us absorb nutrients and vitamins from food. It is an average of 6 meters long and is covered with millions of villi that are separated by ...

Crypt-base-columnar cells are continuously dividing intestinal stem cells that generate IECs, which are composed by distinct specialised cell types that play different functions: Enterocytes (in the ...

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have now shown how mucus protects the small intestine in mice. In the future, this finding may lead to new ways of preventing relapse in Crohn’s disease in ...
