A team of researchers has developed a "gut-on-chip" (a miniature model of the human intestine on a chip-sized device) capable ...

Pathogen-fighting immune cells called tissue-resident memory CD8 T cells (TRM cells) go through a surprising transformation -- and relocation -- as they fight infections in the small intestine.

The mechanical barrier is made up of the mucus layer, intestinal epithelial cells, tight junctions between cells and the mucosal lamina propria.
