Researchers have analyzed the entire mouse intestine, mapping gene expression and cell states and location in the healthy gut and in response to perturbations such as inflammation. They identified ...

Scientists have found that tiny plastic particles can accumulate in the intestines of mice and cause damage to their gut health and immune system. The study, led by researchers from the Institute of ...

Nanoplastics can compromise intestinal integrity in mice by altering the interactions between the gut microbiome and the host, according to a paper in Nature Communications. The study explores the ...

The intestinal immune system can usually recognize friend from foe. But for approximately 30 million Americans with food allergies—including four million children—immune cells mistakenly identify food ...

With aging, the intestine gradually loses its ability to regenerate after damage. An international research team involving the Leibniz Institute on Aging - Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena and ...

Background Both host and microbe metabolism of tryptophan (Trp) is altered in diabetes; however, the molecular mechanisms are ...

The intestine maintains a delicate balance in the body, absorbing nutrients and water while maintaining a healthy relationship with the gut microbiome, but this equilibrium is disrupted in parts of ...
