Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, enabling more precise prediction of drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity ...

Alterations in intestinal structure, mechanics and physiology underlie acute and chronic intestinal conditions, many of which are influenced by dysregulation of microbiome, peristalsis, stroma or ...

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 ...

The history of microbiota research has been driven by a series of technical innovations. In 1683, Leeuwenhoek first glimpsed the previously unseen world of microorganisms, including bacteria, hidden ...

Each year, students with a passion to learn more about the human body can join the advanced human anatomy dissection team. The members of the dissection team meet each Friday to dissect human cadavers ...
