A study published in the journal Nature, led by Carlene Zindl, Ph.D., and C. Garrett Wilson in the research group of Casey Weaver, M.D., at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, brings new ...

Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, enabling more precise prediction of drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity ...

A new microfluidics cell culture model recapitulates the basic biology of gut touch. “In many ways, it recapitulates the [gastrointestinal] system because the cell bodies of neurons within the gut ...

Beneath the surface of your gut lies a vast network of neurons—as many as in your spinal cord. New research from the Champalimaud Foundation (CF) in Lisbon shows that in mice this "second brain" helps ...

Imagine a patient with Crohn's disease—after months of flares, they are finally in clinical remission. Their biomarkers are ...

FPR2 activation regulates ISC proliferation and differentiation by activating the Wnt, Notch, and Hippo pathways via the PKC-ERK signaling axis. The intestinal epithelium undergoes rapid renewal every ...

Scientists have studied the effects of one of the most common laxatives in the world to reveal more about how the regulation of fluid flow in the gut is related to constipation and diarrhea. These ...

A newly identified subset of intestinal epithelial cells act as both the major target and a key responder in a mouse model of gut infection by the bacteria Citrobacter rodentium BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – ...
