In this short science video, I use a fun model to show just how long your small intestine actually is and why it is not very ...

Researchers have used a mouse model to show that infections in the intestine can change the composition of bile, a fluid that is generated in the liver and is crucial to digestion. Bile aids in the ...

While this image might look like a multicolored tile floor, it is actually a cross section through the fingerlike bumps on the intestinal wall called villi. The cells within the villi, which you can ...

Drosophila melanogaster has long served as a powerful model for dissecting the principles of tissue homeostasis and regeneration. Within the adult midgut, intestinal stem cells (ISCs) perform the ...

The interplay between the circadian clock, intestinal stem cell niche, and epithelial cell fate is shaping our understanding of how gut homeostasis and cellular regeneration are regulated. Recent ...
