A team of scientists from Japan have found success in growing small intestinal cells, akin to those found in the human body, from human-induced pluripotent stem cells. The scientists used a ...

By modifying a procedure that they previously used on human embryonic stem cells, the scientists initially grew cells that resemble the early stages of small intestine cells, called intestinal ...

The small intestine, like most other body tissues, has a small store of immature adult stem cells that can differentiate into more mature, specialized cell types. Until now, there has been no good ...

They started with a different type of stem cell, taken from the colons ... fighting tissue important for intestinal health. When they implanted small stretches of this intestine-like tissue ...

The researchers describe them as a reservoir of stem cells -- it is estimated that there is one quiescent cell for every 10 active intestinal stem cells. In healthy conditions, these cells have no ...

which were not present in the previous human small intestinal organoids. The results of the study were published on 23 August in Cell Stem Cell. The development of organoids has meant a lot for ...

The enteroids were derived from human stem cells. They discovered that the ... the Tufts researchers believe their silk model of the small intestine could replace mice and rats, providing a ...

Driven by growth factors and cytokines derived from the stem cell niche and surrounding ... that these signaling alterations occur in the small intestine with aging. However, the combined effects ...

These comprise a small group of passive stem cells -quiescent- that are activated when needed and have the capacity to produce any kind of intestinal cell. Quiescent cells are relevant for tissue ...
