Dynamic switching between revival stem cells and conventional intestinal stem cells enables efficient tissue repair without exhausting the stem cell pool, report researchers from Institute of Science ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered that bacteria can drive stem cell regeneration to repair the intestinal lining after injury—uncovering an unexpected way in which the gut ...

Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators have for the first time created human intestinal organoids that include functional Paneth cells, a specialized cell type that is found in the ...

A recent study comparing young and aged mouse intestinal tissues revealed a delicate balance between IFN-γ signaling and ERK/MAPK signaling as crucial for maintaining the intestinal stem cell ...

A recent study led by Associate Professor Takuya Yamamoto and Researcher May Nakajima-Koyama has revealed that maintaining a delicate balance between interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and extracellular ...

Under the surface of an organ, many different cell types participate in crucial interactions. This means that when an organ suffers damage, fixing it is not as easy as slapping on a Band-Aid.

A new study reported in Nature has determined that the amino acid cysteine could promote regeneration among cells in the small intestine. The work showed that cysteine can activate an immune signaling ...

Miniature organs grown in the lab can organize themselves into complex shapes, which enables scientists to use them to study disease. The trouble is they never do it the same way twice, which has made ...
