Villi are tiny projections in the small intestine that absorb nutrients from food. Diseases like celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease can damage villi and cause malabsorption. Villi are ...
A new review explains how air-liquid interface cultures and gut-on-a-chip systems recreate the human intestinal mucosa, ...
Intestinal cells can change specializations during their lives. The BMP signaling pathway—an important communication mechanism between cells—appears to be the driver of these changes. That is what ...
A biobattery uses spore-forming bacteria in artificial intestinal villi to generate energy. The system could also clean water ...
Your intestine completely rebuilds its inner lining every few days - one of the fastest renewal processes in the human body. Scientists have now discovered that this extraordinary feat is accompanied ...
US researchers develop a gut-inspired biobattery that generates 0.75 volts using bacteria embedded in flexible hydrogel.
