Using human intestinal organoids, scientists uncovered a previously unknown immune function of M cells. By presenting gluten ...

An international group of researchers has identified an important mechanism that enables stem cells to evade immune rejection. Their research, published in Nature, sheds light on how these specialized ...

In a recent study, researchers at the University of California, San Diego, have provided new insights into the central role of goblet cells - specialized cells that line the gut - in maintaining a ...

The immune system is comprised of two separate active arms of immunity to provide robust protection against disease. The two separate systems of immunity include the innate and adaptive immune ...

Intestinal tuft cells divide to make new cells when immunological cues trigger them. Additionally, in contrast to progenitor- and stem cells, tuft cells can survive severe injury such as irradiation ...

In a key advance for regenerative medicine and gut health, scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have uncovered a precise and ...

During gestation, the placenta takes on the roles of many of the fetus’ developing organs and serves as a barrier between parent and child. Critical to this is the outermost layer of the organ, the ...

Orthopedic non-invasive stem cell therapy regenerates damaged tissue rather than just improving symptoms. Autologous stem cell therapy uses cells from your own body, minimizing rejection risks.

Scientists have made an important discovery about the relationship between hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and immune response evasion. Their findings show how certain HSCs have regulatory functions ...
