Molecularly defined serotonin (enterochromaffin) cells of the gut lining were distinguished by single-cell expression analysis, in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry into 14 topographically ...

With every bite of food we take, our intestinal immune system must make a big decision. Tasked with defending us from foreign pathogens, these exquisitely sensitive cells somehow distinguish friend ...

My current research project uses stem cell organogenesis to examine H. pylori infection in the human stomach and determine whether infection upregulates epithelial ST6Gal-I expression, a ...

This barrier represents a huge mucosal surface ... innate immune cells), muscular and neurological elements Intestinal permeability is defined as a functional feature of the intestinal barrier ...

We further hypothesize that human milk components modulate inflammation induced by microbes, both pathogenic and mutualist symbionts, in the immature intestinal mucosa of infants. During early ...

In a recent study, FMI researchers have shed light on how intestinal organoids form crypts, the pockets that house stem cells ...

Researchers have solved a cellular mystery that may lead to better therapies for colorectal and other types of cancer. A professor of pediatrics-developmental biology and an assistant professor of ...

Researchers found that a small population of immune cells in the mouse intestine prevents allergic responses to food, suggesting that targeting such cells therapeutically could potentially lead to a ...
