This important study shows that the Nora virus, a natural Drosophila pathogen that also persistently infects many laboratory fly stocks, infects intestinal stem cells (ISCs), leading to a shorter life ...

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 ...

“The intestine has an enormous ability to regenerate itself after injury, and it does this through a model of dedifferentiation,” Dempsey explains. “The cells dedifferentiate back into a type of ...

This small embryonic stem cell colony contains approximately 50 ... On the right is a complex section of intestine or gut tissue. Gut cells (blue arrow) have secreted mucous-like material into ...

In a recent study, FMI researchers have shed light on how intestinal organoids form crypts, the pockets that house stem cells for gut regeneration and long-term stability. Their findings may have ...

we delve into the intricate mechanisms employed by intestinal cells to secure the vital nutrients and metabolic resources essential for preserving intestinal stem cell fate and function. And, how ...

Figure caption, The properties and functions of stem cells in animals Some locations in the adult body, such as the lower layers of the skin and small intestine, still contain populations of stem ...

and those stem cells eventually recover the intestine and turn back to normal cells." Scientists have been looking for a long time for the "switch" that turns regular intestinal cells back into ...
