The study found that gastric cells in some individuals carried three copies of certain chromosomes, hinting toward exposure ...

"The gut microbes we are using now are a mix from healthy donors' fecal samples to ensure a variety of bacteria, but they can ...

Organelles in cells were originally often independent cells, which were incorporated by host cells and lost their ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have found that the small intestine grows in response to pregnancy in mice. This partially irreversible change may help mice support a pregnancy and prepare ...

For the first time, scientists have systematically analyzed somatic mutations in stomach lining tissue to unpick mutational ...

Cells can also send out packages called exosomes, lipid vesicles that bubble off from the cell membrane. But for about 20 ...

Until now, skin cells have been viewed as barriers that can respond to electric stimuli. Turns out, they also generate ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells, refine their ...

Portuguese researchers identified a type of immune cell that appears to travel to the pancreas to stimulate glucagon ...

Chronic inflammation of the intestine is a significant risk factor in ... and create the favorable conditions for cancer cell proliferation, infiltration, and migration. Therefore, macrophage ...

We are entering an era of medicine where increasingly sophisticated data will be obtained from patients to determine proper diagnosis, predict outcomes and direct therapies. We predict that the most ...

The intestine relies on diverse immune cells, but their evolutionary changes during domestication remain poorly understood at single-cell resolution. Methods: We performed single-cell RNA sequencing ...
