A recent study led by Associate Professor Takuya Yamamoto and Researcher May Nakajima-Koyama has revealed that maintaining a ...

Discover how a gut-on-chip device predicts melanoma patients' response to immunotherapy by simulating intestinal inflammation ...

A team of researchers has developed a "gut-on-chip" (a miniature model of the human intestine on a chip-sized device) capable ...

IEO and Politecnico di Milano have developed a “gut-on-chip” capable of predicting the response to immunotherapy in patients ...

In a breakthrough for the advanced study of gut health, scientists have developed a 3D microscopic version of the human intestines condensed into a small chip about half the size of a five-cent coin.

Micro- and nanoscale plastic particles in soil and water can significantly increase how much toxic chemicals plants and human ...

Intestinal barrier is a functional entity separating the gut lumen from the inner host, and consisting of mechanical elements (mucus, epithelial layer), humoral elements (defensins, IgA ...

In vivo, the intestinal epithelium interacts with the neighboring environment through complex crosstalk, which involves components such as the immune system, tissue microenvironment, and gut microbes.

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 ...
