Researchers have found that the small intestine grows in response to pregnancy in mice. This partially irreversible change may help mice support a pregnancy and prepare for a second. Researchers at ...

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 ...

Osaka Metropolitan University researchers elucidated molecular crosstalk between lactoferrin and IgGFcγBP, revealing ...

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 ...

A new study reveals that age-related changes in the gut microbiota directly impair intestinal stem cell (ISC) function and that restoring a youthful microbial environment can reverse this decline.

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 ...

Select gut bacteria protect mice against post-influenza virus secondary bacterial pneumonia, according to a study published ...

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