Intestinal tuft cells divide to make new cells when immunological cues trigger them. Additionally, in contrast to progenitor- ...

Researchers have solved a cellular mystery that may lead to better therapies for colorectal and other types of cancer. A professor of pediatrics-developmental biology and an assistant professor of ...

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 ...

Eating is one of life’s few constants: If you’re not eating right now, you’ll certainly be eating something within a few hours. But when and how often we should eat is still not fully understood.

A preventive approach that eliminates multi-resistant E. coli bacteria from the gut before complications develop would therefore be more sensible and sustainable. This is exactly where the current ...

Gut support cells communicate with surprising precision – like brain neurons – using tiny extensions to send instructions to the stem cells responsible for maintaining and healing the intestine. The ...

New evidence shows that human M cells act as fully fledged antigen-presenting cells, processing and presenting gluten peptides through a dendritic cell-like pathway that may shape early coeliac ...

Ever notice that as you get older, some foods no longer sit with you the same? This could be due to a breakdown of the intestinal epithelium, a single layer of cells that forms the organ's lining. The ...

Intestinal tuft cells divide to make new cells when immunological cues trigger them. Additionally, in contrast to progenitor- and stem cells, tuft cells can survive severe injury such as irradiation ...
