In a recent study, FMI researchers have shed light on how intestinal organoids form crypts, the pockets that house stem cells for gut regeneration and long-term stability. Their findings may have ...

A new study published in Life Science Alliance reveals a key genetic connection between cancer susceptibility and tissue ...

Researchers have found that the small intestine grows in response to pregnancy in mice. This partially irreversible change may help mice support a pregnancy and prepare for a second. Researchers ...

Molecularly defined serotonin (enterochromaffin) cells of the gut lining were distinguished by single-cell expression analysis, in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry into 14 topographically ...

Inside the small intestine, the villi (protrusions that absorb nutrients) and crypts (where the cells supplying the villi are produced) became longer and deeper at the same time as the gut ...

Intestinal stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells, which in mammals reside in the base of the crypts of the adult intestine. Intestinal stem cells continuously self-renew by dividing and ...

Beyond its role in the initiation of digestion, the oral microbiome appears to be key to maintaining both oral and systemic ...

Explore spine-chilling cult classic horror TV shows that blend psychological terror, supernatural thrills, and eerie ...

Pregnancy permanently lengthens the small intestine in mice, enhancing nutrient absorption for mother and offspring. Genetic and metabolic changes drive this process, with a key protein, SGLT3a, ...
