Flaps perform essential jobs. From pumping hearts to revving engines, flaps help fluid flow in one direction. Without them, ...

Now that optimized human small intestinal organoids are available, researchers can expand on what they study. For instance, researchers can use the organoids to make mutations in the DNA of the cells.

Scientists report using human pluripotent stem cells to grow human intestinal tissues that have functioning nerves in a laboratory, and then using these to recreate and study a severe intestinal ...

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 ...

In 2011, Helmrath’s colleagues successfully created specks of human intestinal tissue from reprogrammed cells. The specks were like intestinal newborns: They didn’t behave quite like adults.

Tissue-engineered small intestine grown from human cells replicates key aspects of a functioning human intestine, researchers have demonstrated. The work brings surgeons one step closer to helping ...

“In mice, intestinal tuft cells have been described as a long-lived, postmitotic cell type. Two distinct subsets have been identified: tuft-1 and tuft-2,” the researchers wrote.

In a breakthrough for the advanced study of gut health, NUS scientists have developed a 3D microscopic version of the human intestines condensed into a small chip about half the size of a five ...

Bacteria that cause intestinal infections typically avoid a stinky chemical - one that can kill them at high enough concentrations - inside human intestines, but they may actually swim toward it when ...

Illustration of female small intestine anatomy getty This is part of a series of stories on the protective role of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in the gut and other tissues, focusing on SARS-CoV-2 ...

VIENNA - Austrian customs officials are used to finding unusual items in travelers’ luggage. But human intestines were not on their list - until now. The Austrian Press Agency reports that the ...

Scientists report in Nature Medicine using human pluripotent stem cells to grow human intestinal tissues that have functioning nerves in a laboratory, and then using these to recreate and study a ...
