Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered that bacteria can drive stem cell regeneration to repair the intestinal lining after injury—uncovering an unexpected way in which the gut ...
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 ...
A diet rich in the amino acid cysteine may have rejuvenating effects in the small intestine, according to a new study from MIT. This amino acid, the researchers discovered, can turn on an immune ...
Gut support cells communicate with surprising precision – like brain neurons – using tiny extensions to send instructions to the stem cells responsible for maintaining and healing the intestine. The ...
Researchers have solved a cellular mystery that may lead to better therapies for colorectal and other types of cancer. A professor of pediatrics-developmental biology and an assistant professor of ...
Researchers have found that CAR T-cell therapy can help aging intestines heal by targeting senescent cells. In mice, it ...
