Gut organoids are three-dimensional (3D), stem cell-derived structures that mimic the cellular composition and functions of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract. By replicating digestive physiology ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) have made a significant breakthrough in the development of reliable in-vitro digestion models. This ...

Any drug that is taken orally must pass through the lining of the digestive tract. Transporter proteins found on cells that line the GI tract help with this process, but for many drugs, it's unknown ...

Hydrolysis constants of mixed sludge at 35, 55, and 60 °C were found to be 0.32, 0.44, and 0.50 1/d, respectively, in pilot-scale, semicontinuously operated anaerobic digesters. The hydrolysis ...

The Gastrointestinal Experimental Model Systems Core (GEMS) is subdivided into two subcores: organoid and gnotobiotic sub-cores. The core’s centralized services support exciting scientific ...

This film explores the complex process of human digestion, detailing how food is broken down into molecules by the digestive system. It follows the journey of food from the mouth, where it is chewed ...

Large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, have rapidly entered healthcare, but strong clinical evidence for their real-world use remains limited. A new study published in Gastroenterology & ...

Digestive enzymes are found in the digestive system, including the mouth, stomach, and small intestine. They help you break down food and absorb nutrients. Sometimes, the body cannot make enough ...

Chemical digestion occurs when the body uses enzymes to break down certain molecules, such as carbohydrates. This process allows the bloodstream to absorb smaller molecules to transport around the ...
