As our gut ages, key genes go quiet and scientists now know why
As people live longer, the gut quietly accumulates damage that can tip the balance between healthy tissue renewal and chronic disease. Researchers have now traced a key part of that shift to specific ...
During drug development, researchers need to perform adequate nonclinical testing to ensure a drug’s safety and efficacy before starting clinical trials. An important aspect they must evaluate is a ...
Researchers have found that the small intestine grows in response to pregnancy in mice. This partially irreversible change may help mice support a pregnancy and prepare for a second. Researchers at ...
The epithelial lining of our intestine is organized in a crypt-villi architecture and serves many essential functions including maintenance of barrier, digestion and nutrient absorption. Due to the ...
Our intestine plays a vital role in absorbing nutrients and provides a protective barrier within the digestive tract. As a consequence of these functions, the epithelial cells lining the intestine are ...
The research projects in Michael Snyder, PhD’s lab at Stanford cover a wide range of interests; COVID-19, the NASA twin study, and personal omics profiling to name some examples. Another interest of ...
