Dynamic switching between revival stem cells and conventional intestinal stem cells enables efficient tissue repair without ...

Cells on the inner surface of the intestine are replaced every few days. But, how does this work? It was always assumed that cells leave the intestinal surface because excess cells are pushed out. In ...

The cells that line the inside of the gut may play a key role in triggering inflammation that drives MS, a study found.

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 ...

Drosophila melanogaster has long served as a powerful model for dissecting the principles of tissue homeostasis and regeneration. Within the adult midgut, intestinal stem cells (ISCs) perform the ...

Tuft cells are present throughout the intestinal tract as well as in many organs. Studies in mice have shown that when tuft cells sense the presence of pathogens, they signal to immune cells and to ...

Researchers have established a direct experimental link between inflammatory signals in the intestinal lining and the kind of ...

How does the gut cause Multiple Sclerosis? New research identifies the MHC II protein in intestinal epithelial cells as the trigger for MS-related neuroinflammation. Discover how gut-primed T cells ...

A new study led by Hartmut Geiger at the University of Ulm, Germany and Yi Zheng and Kodandaramireddy Nalapareddy, CCHMC, Cincinnati, USA reveals that age-related changes in the gut microbiota ...

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 ...
