Midgut volvulus is a medical condition that occurs when the small intestine twists on itself, leading to a blockage of blood flow and potential risk of tissue damage. This condition is considered ...

Morphological Characterization of the Midgut Epithelium and Regional Differentiation A detailed morphological characterization of the midgut epithelium was performed for all five regions described ...

Midgut volvulus is a health disorder in which the intestine twists as a result of malrotation during pregnancy or when the normal embryologic sequence of intestinal development and fixation is ...

The adult Drosophila midgut epithelium is derived from a group of stem cells called adult midgut precursors (AMPs) that are specified during the migration of the endoderm in early embryogenesis. AMPs ...

Scientists studying the Anopheles gambiae mosquito - the main vector of malaria - have found that when the mosquito takes a blood meal, that act triggers two enzymes to form a network of ...

The midgut is sexually dimorphic, with differences in physiology and gene expression (15, 23 – 25). In particular, female midgut ISCs express a unique branch of the female sex determination pathway, ...

Plasma membranes from insect midgut cells are separated into apical and basolateral domains. The apical domain is usually modified into microvilli with a molecular structure similar to other animals.

Here we show that the microbiota resident in the host midgut triggers a lethal septicemia. The infection process is enhanced by reducing the host immune response and its control on replication of ...
