A new study reveals that age-related changes in the gut microbiota directly impair intestinal stem cell (ISC) function and that restoring a youthful microbial environment can reverse this decline.

A new study led by Hartmut Geiger at the University of Ulm, Germany, and Yi Zheng and Kodandaramireddy Nalapareddy, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC), USA reveals that age-related ...

Although the gut renews itself constantly, its stem cells accumulate age-related molecular changes that quietly alter how ...

In a healthy gut, cells are constantly being renewed. This happens thanks to a small group of stem cells that divide and specialize into functional intestinal cells. During certain infections or ...

In a key advance for regenerative medicine and gut health, scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have uncovered a precise and ...

Intestinal Stem Cells (ISCs) derived from a patient's own cells have garnered significant attention as a new alternative for treating intractable intestinal diseases due to their low risk of rejection ...

Drosophila melanogaster has long served as a powerful model for dissecting the principles of tissue homeostasis and regeneration. Within the adult midgut, intestinal stem cells (ISCs) perform the ...

Researchers have solved a cellular mystery that may lead to better therapies for colorectal and other types of cancer. A professor of pediatrics-developmental biology and an assistant professor of ...

Bowel cancer risk is influenced by several overlapping factors including age, weight and inflammation. This study is early stage biology, but it strengthens the idea that long term gut health is ...
