Spatial image of the intestine [Stanford Medicine/Snyder lab/Greenleaf lab/Nolan lab] The team found, “cell compositions that differ substantially across regions of the intestine and demonstrate ...

Researchers have produced a first-draft atlas of the mammalian small intestine's cellular composition. This atlas provides a high-resolution, gene expression-based census of the cells constituting ...

The intestinal lymphatic vasculature has a range of functions, from maintenance of interstitial fluid balance to transport of antigens, cells, dietary lipids and fat-soluble vitamins. In this ...

Scientists have built a new rat intestine by combining part of the animal’s own bowel with human stem cells. One day, this method could be used in humans with intestinal problems who currently ...

The intestinal epithelium consists of four main specialized cell lineages: absorptive enterocytes and three secretory cell types known as enteroendocrine, Paneth, and goblet cells. But a rare ...

For example, these cells do not express cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), a protein critical for drug metabolism that is abundantly expressed in the small intestine. Moreover, Caco-2 cells tend to ...

Health Intestine cell transplant may one day help ease digestive issues. Patches of intestinal tissue grown from the cells of mice contract similarly to the muscles in the digestive tract.

BINGHAMTON, NY - The ability of small intestine cells to absorb nutrients and act as a barrier to pathogens is "significantly decreased" after chronic exposure to nanoparticles of titanium dioxide ...
