Researchers have made substantial progress in comprehending the overall anatomy of the small intestine, especially in epithelial zonation. Epithelial zonation is how different cell functions are ...

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 system. This layer is called ...

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 ...

However, our findings show that in normal small intestine epithelium, APOBEC1 is the likely culprit. It could be that the high levels of SBS2 and SBS13 in this organ are 'collateral damage' caused ...

A histological survey of sagittal sections from homozygous newborn animals showed a single abnormality; the epithelial organization of the small intestine was altered compared with wild-type or ...

Further-more, discrete, small spherical inclusion bodies that ... This delay in reversion of intestinal epithelial-cell size to normal is not surprising. In a study of gastric washings from ...

DURING its absorption by the small intestine a substance leaves the bowel lumen, traverses the epithelial lining, passes through the connective-tissue stroma of the lamina propria and enters ...

Epithelial cells form in the crypts of villi and migrate to the tips of the villi, where they are shed. This process is critical for maintaining the structure and function of the small intestine.

2008;5(7):366-367. The clinical finding of malabsorption after massive resection of the small intestine is known as short-bowel syndrome. The remaining intestine undergoes compensatory ...

“Cells in the epithelium are not just pushed outwards ... which cells get to functionally act as stem cells. In the small intestine, the molecular signal regulating the movements is stronger ...
