Dynamic switching between revival stem cells and conventional intestinal stem cells enables efficient tissue repair without exhausting the stem cell pool, report researchers from Institute of Science ...

Human intestinal cell model enables precise detection of drug-induced barrier damage by National Research Council of Science and Technology edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' ...

Researchers have discovered a way to help aging intestines heal themselves using CAR T-cell therapy. By targeting senescent cells that build up over time, the treatment boosted gut regeneration, ...

Villi are tiny projections in the small intestine that absorb nutrients from food. Diseases like celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease can damage villi and cause malabsorption. Villi are ...

There is a critical unmet need to help tighten and maintain a healthy intestinal barrier and treat a leaky gut. Researchers have now found that a unique strain of probiotic bacteria, Bifidobacterium ...

A laboratory experiment has raised a specific safety question about a byproduct connected with sucralose. In human cells, the compound damaged DNA and weakened cells that model the intestinal barrier, ...

Newswise — NEW YORK — Patients with celiac disease who had persistent intestine damage (identified with repeat biopsy) had a higher risk of lymphoma than patients whose intestines healed, according to ...

Under the surface of an organ, many different cell types participate in crucial interactions. This means that when an organ suffers damage, fixing it is not as easy as slapping on a Band-Aid.

Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, enabling more precise prediction of drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity ...
