A research team led by scientists from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in São Paulo, Brazil, has made significant ...

The intestinal immune system plays a pivotal role in maintaining mucosal homeostasis, acting as the interface between environmental stimuli, host epithelial ...

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 ...

The terms "intestinal barrier" and "intestinal permeability" describe two different aspects of the same anatomical structure, the intestinal wall composed of four layers, the mucosa, the submucosa, ...

An international team of scientists based in the Netherlands, and in China, has found that intestinal cells can change specializations during their lives, driven by the BMP signaling pathway, an ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a more detailed picture of how the intestinal epithelium – the lining of the intestines – heals itself after infection with rotavirus. A ...

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

Stem cells are a hot topic for creating medical treatments. However, scientists still do not fully understand how they choose to divide or differentiate to renew organs. Researchers have now found a ...

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 ...

People with celiac disease have lower levels of fiber-metabolizing gut microbes. In a celiac disease mouse model, adding inulin fiber and specific bacteria reduced gut inflammation.
