FMI researchers have shed light on how intestinal organoids form crypts, the pockets that house stem cells for gut ...

What would you see if you peered inside a human small intestine? Here’s a glimpse at its structure, revealing a community of cells with different functions. A biopsy like this is generally very small ...

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 ...

In the small intestine there are also specialised structures called villi which have a tiny hair-like structure poking into the small intestine to absorb digested food. If we stretched out all the ...

The (a) intestine, (b) esophagus and (c) stomach are shown. Quiescent stem cells (d) through asymmetric division probably give rise to more rapidly dividing active stem cells, which then produce ...

This important study provides solid evidence that glucosylceramide synthase (GlcT), a rate-limiting enzyme for glycosphingolipid (GSL) production, plays a role in the differentiation of intestinal ...
