Scientists used pluripotent stem cells to generate functional, three-dimensional human stomach tissue in a laboratory -- creating an unprecedented tool for researching the development and diseases ...

Scientists have used human stem cells to create functional, 3-D stomach tissue -- in effect, little miniature versions of the organ in its earliest stages of development. This is a first, and the ...

A stomach adult stem cell population can fulfill two distinct functions: either help with digestion under normal conditions or take the lead on injury response. Scientists at IMBA, Institute of ...

Researchers have taken stem cells from the human stomach and converted them into insulin-producing cells that respond to changes in blood glucose levels like healthy pancreatic cells would. The ...

Researchers have successfully developed a tissue-engineered human stomach in a laboratory using stem cells. The resulting organ can be used to understand various diseases in the digestive system ...

While you may feel like the same person day after day, science tells a fascinatingly different story. Your body is in a ...

In the study, which appeared April 27 in Nature Cell Biology, the researchers showed that they could take stem cells obtained from human stomach tissue and reprogram them directly - with ...

Few predators swallow their prey whole. Even fewer can digest their meals with bones and all. But for some reptiles like the ...

Weight loss is known to improve health in obesity. A new study provides clues to how: by rejuvenating fat tissue and changing ...

While the stomach's acidic environment aids digestion, it can induce cancer-causing mutations in normal stomach tissues as individuals age.

A study suggests that “chief” cells in the stomach act as reserve stem cells that are activated by tissue damage and may be the long-sought source of gastric cancer.

Scientists used pluripotent stem cells to generate functional, three-dimensional human stomach tissue in a laboratory – creating an unprecedented tool for researching the development and diseases of ...
