intestinal

The studies were carried out in genetically modified mice and intestinal organoids from mice and humans -- self-organised three-dimensional tissues derived from stem cells in the intestine.

They found increased permeability of the small intestine, most likely due to intestinal inflammation.

The impact of a contaminated spice on a person's blood lead level depends on the dose of exposure and the proportion of lead available for intestinal absorption.

At the single-cell level of analysis, the stem cell lines with decreased INST10 lost expression of "master neuronal genes" even as they gained gene expression signatures consistent with programming for becoming intestinal or smooth-tissue cells.

The findings suggest that the gut's ability to bounce back from changes brought about by inflammation could be critical to intestinal health and function.
