Solid tumors that originate in the deep internal organs, such as the pancreas, liver, and ovary, have poor prognoses due to the difficulties of diagnosing ...

A four year-long research study has found that particles secreted by an intestinal worm may assist in treating inflammatory ...

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 ...

We discuss the challenges such as immunosuppressive microenvironment, tumor heterogeneity, and physical barriers that limit CAR-T efficacy. Emerging strategies, such as logic-gated and dual-targeting ...

Intestinal villi (singular: villus)are tiny, finger-like projections that line the interior (lumen) of the small intestine. The primary function of villi is to absorb nutrients from food and transfer ...

PROX1+ cells in intestinal adenomas of ApcMin/+ mice expressed intestinal epithelial and CRC stem cell markers, and cells with high PROX1 expression could both self-renew tumor stem/progenitor cells ...

In the new study, Paz and her collaborators tested a stem cell therapy under development by SanBio. One month after rats had a stroke, the scientists injected the modified human stem cells into ...

Intestinal metaplasia (IM) occurs when the body replaces the cells that line the upper digestive tract (including the stomach and esophagus) with cells that line the intestines. When IM happens in ...

Key Laboratory of Precision and Intelligent Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui 230026, P. R. China Hefei National Research Center for ...

A new tablet being developed to cure intestinal worms has shown promising results in trials and could help eradicate the parasitic infection, which affects about 1.5 billion people globally ...

[68] The behavior of stem cells is tightly controlled by a specialized microenvironment called the 'stem cell niche'. [5] This microenvironment regulates the survival, proliferation and ...
