Most of the time, the intestinal immune system can recognize friend from foe, tolerating myriad foods while destroying ...

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 ...

A new study published in Life Science Alliance reveals a key genetic connection between cancer susceptibility and tissue ...

Study in mice identifies essential immune cells in the intestine that help to prevent unwarranted reactions to harmless food allergens.

Scientists have solved the 3D structure of EspC, a powerful toxin produced by EPEC, a diarrheal E. coli strain that kills ...

A study published in the journal Cell Host & Microbe by Brazilian and American researchers suggests that a diet rich in ...

His research aims to identify the role of extracellular vesicles from intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-EVs) in the development of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) following allogeneic stem cell ...

“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 ...

Researchers at WashU Medicine found that a small population of immune cells in the mouse intestine (shown above) prevents allergic responses to food, suggesting that targeting such cells ...

Would you dig through animal excrement if you knew you would find a diamond? Wildlife researchers at the University of Oxford ...

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 ...
