Scientists have long suspected that the trillions of microbes in our intestines do more than digest lunch, but new work goes ...

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

Organoid models of the small intestines are now a closer match to the cellular architecture of the human intestine, thanks to the work done by the Organoid group at Hubrecht Institute in the ...

Researchers from the Organoid group (formerly the Clevers group) have improved human small intestinal organoids – miniature versions of the small intestine. This will help them to better study the ...

To better understand our organs and perform tests on a more human-like proxy, researchers are increasingly turning to organoids: miniaturized tissue cultures, usually in the form of organs, that are ...

The human gastrointestinal tract is in a constant state of flux; it hosts a diverse and dynamic community of microbes known as the gut microbiome, and is constantly exposed to things in the ...

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

Thanks to lab-grown miniature intestines, researchers at Uppsala University have successfully mapped how aggressive Shigella bacteria infect the human gut. The study opens the door to using cultured ...

Organ-Chips as a Platform for Studying Effects of Space on Human Enteric Physiology (Gut on Chip) examines the effect of microgravity and other space-related stress factors on biotechnology company ...
