Your gut is a wondrous place. A special layer of cells that coats the insides of your small and large intestines takes in nutrients and water from what you ate while keeping anything bad out of your ...

In a recent study, FMI researchers have shed light on how intestinal organoids form crypts, the pockets that house stem cells for gut regeneration and long-term stability. Their findings may have ...

An international team of scientists based in the Netherlands, and in China, has found that intestinal cells can change specializations during their lives, driven by the BMP signaling pathway, an ...

The inner lining of the gut regenerates entirely every four to seven days, thanks to stem cells in the intestinal epithelium. Yet much remains shrouded in mystery regarding stem cells and what causes ...

Your gut is a wondrous place. A special layer of cells that coats the insides of your small and large intestines takes in nutrients and water from what you ate while keeping anything bad out of your ...

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 ...

Scientists have uncovered a gut-specific epigenetic aging mechanism that links inflammation and iron imbalance to cancer risk ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a more detailed picture of how the intestinal epithelium – the lining of the intestines – heals itself after infection with rotavirus. A ...

Stem cells are a hot topic for creating medical treatments. However, scientists still do not fully understand how they choose to divide or differentiate to renew organs. Researchers have now found a ...

As people live longer, the gut quietly accumulates damage that can tip the balance between healthy tissue renewal and chronic ...
