A recent study led by Associate Professor Takuya Yamamoto and Researcher May Nakajima-Koyama has revealed that maintaining a ...

Micro- and nanoscale plastic particles in soil and water can significantly increase how much toxic chemicals plants and human ...

Introduction Coeliac disease (CD) is a common immune-mediated condition driven by aberrant adaptive CD4+ T cell responses to gluten. The cytotoxic CD8+ and γδ+ T cell response in the epithelium is ...

Pathogen-fighting immune cells called tissue-resident memory CD8 T cells (TRM cells) go through a surprising transformation -- and relocation -- as they fight infections in the small intestine.

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 ...

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 ...

PROX1+ cells in intestinal adenomas of ApcMin/+ mice expressed intestinal epithelial and CRC stem cell markers, and cells with high PROX1 expression could both self-renew tumor stem/progenitor cells ...

A four year-long research study has found that particles secreted by an intestinal worm may assist in treating inflammatory ...

The role of enteric glial cells in regulating intestinal mucosal functions at steady state has been a matter of debate in recent years. Enteric glial cell heterogeneity and related methodological ...

Drosophila melanogaster, commonly known as the fruit fly, serves as an important model organism for studying intestinal stem cell (ISC) biology. Research in this area has revealed how various ...
