Stem-cell derived organoids provide the perfect mixture of cells to rebuild damaged intestines.

Skeletal muscle organoids help scientists bypass bottlenecks in satellite cell production for muscle regeneration research.

Knocking out a single gene reprograms part of the large intestine to function like the nutrient-absorbing small intestine. In a preclinical study ...

Knocking out a single gene reprograms part of the large intestine to function like the nutrient-absorbing small intestine.

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 ...

Intestinal stem cells (ISCs), which differentiate into intestinal epithelial cells, play a central role in maintaining this barrier. Growing studies have proved that regulating the regeneration and ...

The bioenergetic requirements of muscle stem cells (satellite cells) during homeostasis and regeneration remain ill-defined. Here, genetics combined with multi-omics analyses reveal an essential role ...

"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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from the University of Colorado Cancer Center have solved a cellular mystery that may lead to better therapies for colorectal and other types of cancer. Peter Dempsey, PhD, professor of ...
