The presence of intestinal metaplasia (IM) is a risk factor for gastric cancer. Recent studies using bulk samples showed the presence of genetic and epigenetic alterations in tissues with IM. It is ...

HEV virions also infected intestinal tissue explants. Lastly, HEV RNA and antigen were detected in the intestinal crypts of a chronically infected patient. Conclusion HEV can replicate in intestinal ...

Intestinal stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells, which in mammals reside in the base of the crypts of the adult intestine. Intestinal stem cells continuously self-renew by dividing and ...

The intestinal barrier is a structure that prevents harmful substances, such as bacteria and endotoxins, from penetrating the intestinal wall and entering human tissues, organs, and microcirculation.

An IBEC-led study describes the development of an innovative method to control the formation of crypt-like structures and villi in the intestine using a contact protein printing technique.

Scientists used high-resolution 3D X-ray imaging to uncover major structural and immune changes in the gut of Alzheimer's ...

finger-like "villi" structures that line the small intestine or the "crypts" between the protruding villi. The researchers found that progenitor-like T RM cells live closer to the crypts between ...

IgA is the most common antibody found in people with celiac. In celiac disease, gluten causes damage to the villi of the small intestine, short projections that absorb nutrients. Explore an ...

Scientists led by the Institute of Nanotechnology in Italy, in collaboration with the ESRF, the European Synchrotron in ...

Your gut is a battleground. The cells that line your small intestine have to balance two seemingly contradictory jobs: absorbing nutrients from food, while keeping a wary eye out for pathogens trying ...
