Intestinal stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells, which in mammals reside in the base of the crypts of the adult intestine. Intestinal stem cells continuously self-renew by dividing and ...

so stem cells must create replacements. What's really remarkable about the intestinal lining is how big it is. If we were to filet open your intestine and lay it flat, it would cover the surface ...

In the 2 June issue of Science, Clarke et al. show that neural stem cells injected into embryos can generate a wide variety of tissues including cells in the central nervous system, heart, liver, and ...

GLP-1—a hormone secreted by the L cells of the small intestine—increases pancreatic ... postulated that treatment of human embryonic stem cells with GLP-1 might induce them to differentiate ...

Nearly 60,000 people are diagnosed with oral cancer in the U.S. every year, according to the American Cancer Society, and the ...

Figure caption, The properties and functions of stem cells in animals Some locations in the adult body, such as the lower layers of the skin and small intestine, still contain populations of stem ...

We spatiotemporally pattern these cues using photoinduced degradation, viscoelasticity, and bond formation to study how intestinal stem cell colonies respond to alterations in geometric confinement, ...

The authors examine the role of Numb, a Notch inhibitor, in intestinal stem cell self-renewal in Drosophila during homeostasis and regeneration. This is an important study providing evidence of a Numb ...

This is especially problematic in cases of blocked blood vessels, which can repeatedly starve large areas of the heart of ...
