A research team led by scientists from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in São Paulo, Brazil, has made significant ...

FPR2 activation regulates ISC proliferation and differentiation by activating the Wnt, Notch, and Hippo pathways via the PKC-ERK signaling axis. The intestinal epithelium undergoes rapid renewal every ...

The terms "intestinal barrier" and "intestinal permeability" describe two different aspects of the same anatomical structure, the intestinal wall composed of four layers, the mucosa, the submucosa, ...

The intestinal immune system plays a pivotal role in maintaining mucosal homeostasis, acting as the interface between environmental stimuli, host epithelial ...

An international team of scientists based in the Netherlands, and in China, has found that intestinal cells can change specializations during their lives, driven by the BMP signaling pathway, an ...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), characterized by excessive hepatic lipid accumulation, poses a high prevalence and can progress to cirrhosis and liver cancer. To enhance preventive and ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a more detailed picture of how the intestinal epithelium – the lining of the intestines – heals itself after infection with rotavirus. A ...

How does the gut cause Multiple Sclerosis? New research identifies the MHC II protein in intestinal epithelial cells as the trigger for MS-related neuroinflammation. Discover how gut-primed T cells ...

Stem cells are a hot topic for creating medical treatments. However, scientists still do not fully understand how they choose to divide or differentiate to renew organs. Researchers have now found a ...

Alain Chariot's team has just published a study in EMBO Molecular Medicine shedding light on the unexpected role of the Stard7 protein in the development of intestinal cancers. Long regarded as a ...
