Squeaky springs, lumps in your mattress, achy back? Sounds like your mattresses needs a makeover. Here's how often you should ...

Researchers discovered a gut-liver serotonin axis where intestinal bacteria activate liver immune cells to clear drug ...

For the 40 million Americans living with diabetes, researchers are pursuing treatments that go beyond lifelong insulin injections. One emerging approach — reprogramming a patient’s own cells into ...

Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, enabling more precise prediction of drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity ...

Background Gastric intestinal metaplasia (IM) is a precancerous stage spanning a morphological spectrum that is poorly represented by human cell line models. Objective We aim to establish and ...

Researchers have discovered a way to help aging intestines heal themselves using CAR T-cell therapy. By targeting senescent cells that build up over time, the treatment boosted gut regeneration, ...

New evidence shows that human M cells act as fully fledged antigen-presenting cells, processing and presenting gluten peptides through a dendritic cell-like pathway that may shape early coeliac ...

The human small intestine absorbs nutrients while protecting us from potentially harmful microbes. One of the cell types that plays a key role in this protection is the microfold cell (M cell). These ...

MIT scientists have found that an amino acid called cysteine can help the gut heal itself. In mouse studies, a cysteine-rich diet activated immune cells that release a molecule speeding up tissue ...

For decades, scientists have studied the remarkable regenerative ability of planarians, triclad flatworms that can basically regrow their entire bodies if necessary. A new study shows that the secret ...

Stem cell therapy offers a minimally invasive alternative to joint replacement surgery, with recovery times of just one to two weeks compared to months for major surgery Clinical studies show varying ...
