Researchers have improved human small intestinal organoids -- miniature versions of the small intestine. This will help them to better study the functioning of the small intestine during health and ...
Small intestine lymphoma occurs when non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma affects the small intestine. It can cause abdominal pain, weight loss, and fever. Treatment involves chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation ...
What drew you into gut microbiome research? I work with people who suffer from functional gastrointestinal disorders and have a myriad of symptoms, many which change over time. These diseases are ...
This story is part of a series exploring human anatomy and physiology complexities. Each story in this collection showcases discoveries reshaping our understanding of the body's inner workings, ...
The gut microbiome is an important ecosystem of microbes that lives in each one of us, and its strength affects our overall health. However, the small intestine is an underappreciated part of the gut ...
In a recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Immunology, researchers investigate the impact of dietary antigens in regulating small intestinal tumors. Despite being the most common type of ...
Researchers from Tongji University highlight small intestine’s role in immune and metabolic diseases
Chinese Medical Journals Publishing House Co., Ltd. The small intestine is not only essential for digestion and nutrient absorption but also for immune regulation and maintaining a balanced microbial ...
Christopher Damman is on the scientific advisory board at Oobli, Supergut, and One BIO. Microbiome research to date has been much like the parable of the blind men and the elephant. How much can be ...
The US humorist Christopher Morley once described the human body as “an ingenious assembly of portable plumbing”. He wasn’t wrong: from our cardiovascular and lymphatic systems to our guts and urinary ...
Bacteria in the small intestine adapt dynamically to our nutritional state, with individual species disappearing and reappearing. Researchers at the University of Bern and University Hospital Bern ...
The small and large intestines are a vital part of the human digestive system. The length of the small intestine is roughly 9–16 feet (ft), while the large intestine is shorter, measuring around 5 ft ...
Now that optimized human small intestinal organoids are available, researchers can expand on what they study. For instance, researchers can use the organoids to make mutations in the DNA of the cells.
