A stem cell-derived intestine model reveals glycyrrhizin as a potential treatment for inflammatory bowel disease.

Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered that bacteria can drive stem cell regeneration to repair the intestinal lining after injury—uncovering an unexpected way in which the gut ...

Human organoids are 3D cell cultures derived from adult stem cells and maintain the variable distribution of epithelial cells seen in primary tissue. They can recapitulate the mechanisms of epithelial ...

A new preclinical study from Weill Cornell Medicine found that the protein caspase-5 (CASP5), long thought to be a foot ...

Researchers found that a small population of immune cells in the mouse intestine prevents allergic responses to food, suggesting that targeting such cells therapeutically could potentially lead to a ...

A new study reported in Nature has determined that the amino acid cysteine could promote regeneration among cells in the small intestine. The work showed that cysteine can activate an immune signaling ...

In a recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Immunology, researchers investigate the impact of dietary antigens in regulating small intestinal tumors. Despite being the most common type of ...
