As people live longer, the gut quietly accumulates damage that can tip the balance between healthy tissue renewal and chronic ...

Although the gut renews itself constantly, its stem cells accumulate age-related molecular changes that quietly alter how ...

The human gut replaces its cells faster than any other tissue in the body. Every few days, fresh cells are produced by specialized stem cells that ...

Researchers have discovered a way to help aging intestines heal themselves using CAR T-cell therapy. By targeting senescent ...

The intestinal epithelium undergoes rapid renewal every 3–5 days, a process driven by intestinal stem cells (ISCs) located at ...

Intestinal Stem Cells (ISCs) derived from a patient's own cells have garnered significant attention as a new alternative for treating intractable intestinal diseases due to their low risk of rejection ...

Drosophila melanogaster has long served as a powerful model for dissecting the principles of tissue homeostasis and regeneration. Within the adult midgut, intestinal stem cells (ISCs) perform the ...

A new study reported in Nature has determined that the amino acid cysteine could promote regeneration among cells in the small intestine. The work showed that cysteine can activate an immune signaling ...

Scientists have uncovered a gut-specific epigenetic aging mechanism that links inflammation and iron imbalance to cancer risk ...
