Gut microbiota composition and sex hormones influence the immune response to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus gastrointestinal colonization in mice.

in the intestinal lamina propria. IFN-γ has a pleiotropic effect on the intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), suggesting that IFN-γ-induced responses may differ between epithelial cell types. Methods: ...

The intestinal stem cells (ISCs) renew effectively within the epithelium. And there is no immune cell aggregation in the healthy lamina propria. (2) UC: The beneficial substances in the mucin layer ...

This important study provides solid evidence that glucosylceramide synthase (GlcT), a rate-limiting enzyme for glycosphingolipid (GSL) production, plays a role in the differentiation of intestinal ...

Xavier and colleagues collected tissue from the small intestine epithelium of mice and built transcriptional profiles using RNAseq. One of the striking revelations was the discovery of new subtypes of ...
