Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) have identified key changes to both chromosome ...

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 ...

The cells helps the snakes absorb the bones of their prey — and might show up in other animals that chomp their meals whole.

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 ...

A team of scientists from Japan have found success in growing small intestinal cells, akin to those found in the human body, from human-induced pluripotent stem cells. The scientists used a ...

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 ...

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.

New mapping effort, using spatial technology, reveals the organization of the human intestine at single-cell resolution for the first time.

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 ...

A team of scientists from Japan have found success in growing small intestinal cells, akin to those found in the human body, from human-induced pluripotent stem cells.

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, a common food ...
