Delivering drugs to gut tumors can be tricky. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have engineered an oral ...

Researchers have created an early map of some of the human body’s estimated 37.2 trillion cells. Each type of cell has a ...

While our understanding is still far from complete, recent studies have provided exciting novel insights into the complex interplay of the many distinct intestinal immune cell types as well as the ...

New advances allow scientists to study DNA, RNA, and gene activity in individual cells rather than in bulk tissue samples.

This study presents a valuable finding on a potential signaling pathway responsible for the direct effects of nicotine on intestinal stem cell growth and tumorigenesis. The evidence supporting the ...

Intestinal stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells, which in mammals reside in the base of the crypts of the adult intestine. Intestinal stem cells continuously self-renew by dividing and ...

Necroptosis is critical for regulating intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). Butyric acid (BA), produced during intestinal ...

Route E-64, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas, USA. Background—Mast cells have been shown to regulate intestinal ion transport in animal models and normal human colon but their ...

S1). They then aimed to generate gut L cell-specific Piezo1 KO mice and claimed the mice show impaired glucose tolerance and GLP-1 production, which can be mitigated by Ex-4 treatment (Fig. 1-2).

Scientists with the Human Cell Atlas have profiled 100 million cells from over 10,000 people worldwide, aiming to map the ...

A molecule identified by Karolinska Institutet researchers promotes intestinal healing and suppresses colorectal cancer tumor ...
