A contact protein printing technique enables researchers to control the formation of villi in human gut models, making it ...

Pathogen-fighting immune cells called tissue-resident memory CD8 T cells (TRM cells) go through a surprising transformation—and relocation—as they fight infections in the small intestine.

An IBEC-led study describes the development of an innovative method to control the formation of crypt-like structures and ...

A study published in Nature Communications and led by teams from the Faculty of Physics and the Institute for Bioengineering ...

Research has shown that hatching on-farm enhanced mucosal morphology and modulated immunity, indicating improved intestinal ...

coli, and other harmful bacteria (Baurhoo et al., 2007a). It also increases the goblet cell number of the intestinal villi which increases the nutrient absorption in the small intestine (Baurhoo et al ...

NEC prevention strategies targeted at issues of GI maturation, enteral nutrition, mucosal immunity, inflammatory mediators, and infectious agents require further study. Bedside clinicians must be ...

Histological analyses of the small intestine in C57BL/6 mice treated with 200[μg/ml NIC (which emulates active smoking) revealed that NIC exposure decreased villus length without affecting crypt size ...

The principle behind the “leaky gut” theory is that endogenous (e.g., psychological stress, intestinal inflammation) and exogenous factors (e.g., diet, alcohol intake) can increase intestinal ...

tu-dresden.de Objective The intestinal epithelium is a rapidly renewing tissue which plays central roles in nutrient uptake, barrier function and the prevention of intestinal inflammation. Control of ...

Because sex and pregnancy hormones regulate RANK–RANKL signalling, we assessed the structure of intestinal villi — tiny, finger-like protrusions in the gut lining that provide a large surface ...
