During embryonic development, the intestine of the Drosophila fly divides into distinct chambers thanks to the formation of constrictions at specific points of the tissue. The Wingless (Wg) signaling ...

Cells can also send out packages called exosomes, lipid vesicles that bubble off from the cell membrane. But for about 20 years we have known about another way for cells to get in touch: by forming ...

Several medications now calm painful inflammation in the intestines. Diets free of ultraprocessed foods also help ...

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 ...

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 ...

Strongyloides stercoralis may be a relevant co-factor in HTLV-1-related T cell lymphomas. We searched MEDLINE database and PubMed for articles from 1970 through June 30, 2016. Search terms used in ...

In addition to making a flurry of new phages, the instructions prompt the cell to produce a tagalong protein that can lend itself to targeted therapies inside the lower intestines. Reduced ...
