Crypt-base-columnar cells are continuously dividing intestinal stem cells that generate IECs, which are composed by distinct specialised cell types that play different functions: Enterocytes (in the ...

Small intestine cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow in the tissues of the small bowel, the long tube that connects your ...

An IBEC-led study describes the development of an innovative method to control the formation of crypt-like structures and villi in the intestine using a contact protein printing technique. This model ...

This regeneration is generally believed to be directed by little caverns tucked throughout the intestine called intestinal crypts. These contain stem cells that receive signals from various other ...

Scientists have uncovered a gut-specific epigenetic aging mechanism that links inflammation and iron imbalance to cancer risk ...

The study, “A nonredundant role for T cell-derived interleukin 22 in antibacterial defense of colonic crypts,” was published in Immunity. The team, led by Carlene L. Zindl, Ph.D., found that IL-22 ...
