Helmrath and colleagues placed human pluripotent stem cells in a biochemical bath to form intestinal tissue, and then engineered a nervous system from embryonic nerve cells in a separate petri dish.

Severe cases can result in damage to the intestinal tissues and can result in death. Intestinal ischemia can also cause the development of a hole in the intestines or perforation causing ...

Most of the core is muscle and connective tissue. It's a muscular container that holds your internal organs in. Every time you breathe, bend, bear down to have a bowel movement, you're using these ...

This is a serious condition that causes a baby’s intestinal tissue to become inflamed, which causes the tissue to die. More often, short bowel syndrome happens after a piece of the small ...

Their findings may have broader implications for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The research is published in the journal Nature Physics. Lab-grown intestinal organoids mimic gut ...

A key pressure-sensing protein involved in gut motility could be utilized for precision-targeted treatments for intestinal ...
