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 ...

Tuft cells are present throughout the intestinal tract as well as in many organs. Studies in mice have shown that when tuft cells sense the presence of pathogens, they signal to immune cells and to ...

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 ...

The capacity of intestinal stem cells to maintain cellular balance in the gut decreases upon aging. Researchers have discovered a new mechanism of action between the nutrient adaptation of intestinal ...

A cell model that replicates the structure and function of the human intestine has been developed, creating an evaluation platform capable of more accurately predicting adverse effects of new drugs.

UAB research has characterized in detail how polymer-based commercial tea bags release millions of nanoplastics and microplastics when infused. The study shows for the first time the capacity of these ...

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 ...

Regular consumption of sugary drinks can cause your intestines to physically adapt to absorb more sugar, creating a “molecular addiction” that makes quitting difficult. Sugar in liquid form is ...

Researchers have improved human small intestinal organoids -- miniature versions of the small intestine. This will help them to better study the functioning of the small intestine during health and ...
