Research on gastrointestinal diseases, especially cancer, has mainly focused on epithelial cells, which line the surfaces of ...

through effects on dendritic cells (DCs) and lymphocytes, regulate intestinal immune homeostasis. One of the oldest known components of mucosal immunity, IgA, is revisited by Andrea Cerutti ...

The inflammatory process, which can also be triggered by other toxin-induced cell signaling, contributes to the damage of the intestinal mucosa. Similar to Shiga toxin (Stx), CT and LTs consist 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 ...

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 ...

They found that in UC patients, the lower levels of 7α-dehydroxylated bile acids strongly correlated with impaired intestinal ...

Human milk not only supplies the nutritional needs of the newborn and protects the baby against infection by confering trophic protection to the intestinal mucosa, but additionally shapes the ...
