Researchers have discovered a way to help aging intestines heal themselves using CAR T-cell therapy. By targeting senescent ...

Intestinal tuft cells divide to make new cells when immunological cues trigger them. Additionally, in contrast to progenitor- and stem cells, tuft cells can survive severe injury such as irradiation ...

As people live longer, the gut quietly accumulates damage that can tip the balance between healthy tissue renewal and chronic ...

A research team from MedUni Vienna and the FWF-sponsored Special Research Area SFB F83 Immunometabolism has now demonstrated for the first time the central role of macrophages in the renewal of ...

Mammalian intestinal epithelium is one of the most swiftly self-renewing tissues in the body, turning over completely every 3 to 5 days. Because of the absence of reliable stem cell markers, however, ...

Nope, this isn’t a small, prickly mammal with a flashy dye job, but a single intestinal epithelial cell. The colorful, hairlike structures are microvilli, which are designed to maximize the cell’s ...

This study is led by Professor Fachao Zhi's research team from Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University. This study utilizes Western diet-fed mice to determine the role that the Western Diet ...

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center researchers have identified a metabolic switch that determines whether intestinal stem cells become absorptive or secretory cells. Manipulating the enzyme OGDH ...

Pain sensing neurons in the gut kindle inflammatory immune responses that cause allergies and asthma, according to a new ...
