Epithelial cells that line the inner layer of the intestine tract supply a barrier for entrance of pathogenic microbes. In addition, epithelial cells actively contribute to pathogenesis of IBD by ...

Salmonella bacteria invade and destroy the cells that line the intestine, known as the intestinal epithelium. This makes it harder for your intestine to absorb water and digest food properly. As a ...

Cell competition in epithelial tissue eliminates transformed cells expressing activated oncoproteins to maintain epithelial homeostasis. Although the process is now understood to be of mechanochemical ...

And now, scientists have added one more item to this list: the gut grows dramatically. According to new research conducted in mice and 3D models of human tissue, the lining of the inside of the small ...

These cultures are derived from stem cells isolated from human intestinal tissue. The stem cells are propagated in vitro and form mature intestinal epithelium upon growth factor manipulation. In order ...

Barrett's esophagus is an acquired metaplastic abnormality in which the normal stratified squamous epithelium lining of the esophagus is replaced by an intestinal-like columnar epithelium.

The mechanisms that cause these symptoms are not fully understood. The stress of heat and oxidative damage during exercise causes disruption to intestinal epithelial cell tight junction proteins ...
