A stem cell-derived intestine model reveals glycyrrhizin as a potential treatment for inflammatory bowel disease.

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) endure abdominal pain, diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and weight loss. As these symptoms develop, the cellular environment in the gut undergoes a dramatic ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have developed a 3D human colon model integrated with bioelectronics to aid in colorectal cancer research and drug discovery. The "3D in vivo ...

A new preclinical study from Weill Cornell Medicine found that the protein caspase-5 (CASP5), long thought to be a foot ...

A new study published in Stem Cell Reports demonstrates how a human stem cell-derived model of the intestine can be used to ...

Exposure of a model human colon to metal oxide nanoparticles, at levels that could be present in foods, consumer goods, or treated drinking water, led to multiple, measurable differences in the normal ...

In a major leap for cancer research and precision medicine, engineers at the University of California, Irvine have developed a three-dimensional human colon model integrated with bioelectronics. The ...

Researchers at the New York Institute of Technology and the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) have developed what’s described as a highly realistic artificial human colon, a scientific ...

The terms "intestinal barrier" and "intestinal permeability" describe two different aspects of the same anatomical structure, the intestinal wall composed of four layers, the mucosa, the submucosa, ...

Worms reduce inflammation only on high-fiber diets; low fiber disables their benefits and disrupts gut health.
