The capacity of intestinal stem cells to maintain cellular balance in the gut decreases upon aging. Researchers have discovered a new mechanism of action between the nutrient adaptation of intestinal ...

Researchers have solved a cellular mystery that may lead to better therapies for colorectal and other types of cancer. A professor of pediatrics-developmental biology and an assistant professor of ...

A new study reported in Nature has determined that the amino acid cysteine could promote regeneration among cells in the small intestine. The work showed that cysteine can activate an immune signaling ...

The capacity of intestinal stem cells to maintain cellular balance in the gut decreases upon aging. Researchers at the University of Helsinki have discovered a new mechanism of action between the ...

A diet rich in the amino acid cysteine may have rejuvenating effects in the small intestine, according to a new study from MIT. This amino acid, the researchers discovered, can turn on an immune ...

Ever notice that as you get older, some foods no longer sit with you the same? This could be due to a breakdown of the intestinal epithelium, a single layer of cells that forms the organ's lining. The ...

EPFL scientists have shown that a gene linked to a rare childhood disease is essential for regenerating intestinal stem cells after injury. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news ...

Attrition in the therapeutic pipeline can often be associated with the lack of translational efficacy from the pre-clinical phase to the clinic. Organoids demonstrate the significant potential to ...
