Chinese Medical Journals Publishing House Co., Ltd. The small intestine is not only essential for digestion and nutrient absorption but also for immune regulation and maintaining a balanced microbial ...

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 ...

New evidence shows that human M cells act as fully fledged antigen-presenting cells, processing and presenting gluten peptides through a dendritic cell-like pathway that may shape early coeliac ...

Using human intestinal organoids, scientists uncovered a previously unknown immune function of M cells. By presenting gluten antigens to T cells, these cells may contribute directly to the development ...

A new study reported in Nature has determined that the amino acid cysteine could promote regeneration among cells in the small intestine. The work showed that cysteine can activate an immune signaling ...

The gut microbiome is an important ecosystem of microbes that lives in each one of us, and its strength affects our overall health. However, the small intestine is an underappreciated part of the gut ...
