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 ...

Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, ...

Tuft cells are present throughout the intestinal tract as well as in many organs. Studies in mice have shown that when tuft cells sense the presence of pathogens, they signal to immune cells and to ...

Organ-Chips as a Platform for Studying Effects of Space on Human Enteric Physiology (Gut on Chip) examines the effect of microgravity and other space-related stress factors on biotechnology company ...

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.

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, ...

Working with human stem cells that form a kind of "mini intestine-in-a-dish," Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found several molecular mechanisms for COVID-19-related diarrhea, ...

Prof LIM Chwee Teck (seated), together with Dr Nishanth Venugopal MENON (right) and Dr LEE Jee Yeon (left), from the National University of Singapore, jointly developed the new ‘gut-on-chip’ platform.
