The human gastrointestinal tract is in a constant state of flux; it hosts a diverse and dynamic community of microbes known as the gut microbiome, and is constantly exposed to things in the ...

Intestinal tuft cells divide to make new cells when immunological cues trigger them. Additionally, in contrast to progenitor- ...

Research from an international team finds that the human gut is a site of rapid change, with recent and important deviations from other mammals, including our closest living relative, the chimpanzee.

Tuft cells are present throughout the intestinal tract as well as in many organs. Studies in mice have shown that when tuft cells sense the presence of pathogens, they signal to immune cells and to ...
