Scientists have used advanced X-ray phase-contrast tomography (XPCT) to uncover how gut health may influence Alzheimer’s disease.

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 ...

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 ...

Intestinal villi (singular: villus)are tiny, finger-like projections that line the interior (lumen) of the small intestine. The primary function of villi is to absorb nutrients from food and transfer ...

These cells are split between the tiny, finger-like “villi” structures that line the small intestine or the “crypts” between the protruding villi. The researchers found that progenitor-like TRM cells ...

The human immune system is like an army of specialized soldiers (immune cells) each with a unique role to play in fighting disease. In a new study published in Nature, led by scientists at the Allen ...

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 ...
