A study published in the journal Nature brings new understanding to how absorptive intestinal epithelial cells, or IECs, and T cells work together to defend the gut barrier against ...

DOI: 10.1038/s41586-025-09097-6 Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center researchers have identified a metabolic switch that determines whether intestinal stem cells become absorptive or secretory ...

In the study, single-cell RNA sequencing of IECs from the mid-distal colon in uninfected mice was used to discover the two lineage subsets of absorptive IECs, as identified by differential gene ...

Cells within the intestines perform various roles including nutrient absorption, sensing, and maintaining homeostasis. Certain chronic disorders are distinctly characterized by gut inflammation ...

In addition to the question of whether cholesterol absorption might be regulated by a transporter in the mucosal cell membrane, there is also the possibility that proteins like adenosine ...

A schematic illustration of the role of DHHC5 and CRYBG1 in controlling lacteal function and intestinal lipid absorption by maintaining the lipid raft association of VEGFR2. The proper functioning ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of intestinal cell in pythons that helps them completely digest bones. Scientists ...
