Intestinal tuft cells divide to make new cells when immunological cues trigger them. Additionally, in contrast to progenitor- and stem cells, tuft cells can survive severe injury such as irradiation ...

Intestinal Stem Cells (ISCs) derived from a patient's own cells have garnered significant attention as a new alternative for ...

A human intestinal organoid, displaying typical ‘budding crypts’ and a central ‘villus-like’ domain. The main intestinal cell types are shown in green, blue, red and purple. Membranes are yellow and ...

Gut support cells communicate with surprising precision – like brain neurons – using tiny extensions to send instructions to the stem cells responsible for maintaining and healing the intestine. The ...

A team led by scientists at King's College London, in collaboration with national and international partners, has discovered how a specific group of immune cells in the gut—Group 3 Innate Lymphoid ...

Using human intestinal organoids, scientists uncovered a previously unknown immune function of M cells. By presenting gluten ...

Specifically, the team confirmed that increased expression of cytoskeleton-binding and actin-binding proteins leads to a stable restructuring of the internal cellular architecture. This provides the ...

Fluorescent image of of a patient’s colorectal cancer liver metastasis showing the diversity of cell states from normal intestinal states (dark blue) to atypical cell states (other colors). Image ...
