Many people notice that certain foods become harder to tolerate with age. One possible reason is damage to the intestinal epithelium, a thin, single layer of cells that lines the intestine.
Researchers have discovered a way to help aging intestines heal themselves using CAR T-cell therapy. By targeting senescent ...
The intestinal epithelium undergoes rapid renewal every 3–5 days, a process driven by intestinal stem cells (ISCs) located at ...
As people live longer, the gut quietly accumulates damage that can tip the balance between healthy tissue renewal and chronic ...
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human 'lung-on-chip' model using genetically identical cells derived from stem cells taken from a single donor.The ...
Platinum-resistant recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer carries a bleak prognosis, with single-agent chemotherapy yielding ...
Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, our skin tissue—and in fact many types of epithelial tissue that lines and covers the ...
The small airways serve as a primary line of defense against inhaled particles and facilitate gas exchange by directing air to the alveoli. These small airways are critical in the pathophysiology of ...
Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive disease of lung parenchymal scarring that is triggered by repeated microinjury to a vulnerable alveolar epithelium. It is increasingly ...
