Although the gut renews itself constantly, its stem cells accumulate age-related molecular changes that quietly alter how ...
Scientists have uncovered a gut-specific epigenetic aging mechanism that links inflammation and iron imbalance to cancer risk ...
The inner lining of the gut regenerates entirely every four to seven days, thanks to stem cells in the intestinal epithelium. Yet much remains shrouded in mystery regarding stem cells and what causes ...
The study, “A nonredundant role for T cell-derived interleukin 22 in antibacterial defense of colonic crypts,” was published in Immunity. The team, led by Carlene L. Zindl, Ph.D., found that IL-22 ...
Your gut is a wondrous place. A special layer of cells that coats the insides of your small and large intestines takes in nutrients and water from what you ate while keeping anything bad out of your ...
The human intestine is made up of more than 40 square meters of tissue, with a multitude of folds on its internal surface that resemble valleys and mountain peaks in order to increase the absorption ...
Chemical and Biological Engineering PhD student Max Yavitt is the lead author on a new paper in Science Advancesthat focuses on intestinal tissue research. The work could allow researchers to control ...

As people live longer, the gut quietly accumulates damage that can tip the balance between healthy tissue renewal and chronic ...
Stem cells are a hot topic for creating medical treatments. However, scientists still do not fully understand how they choose to divide or differentiate to renew organs. Researchers have now found a ...
