Intestinal tuft cells divide to make new cells when immunological cues trigger them. Additionally, in contrast to progenitor- and stem cells, tuft cells can survive severe injury such as irradiation ...

The human small intestine is an essential organ that helps us absorb nutrients and vitamins from food. It is an average of 6 meters long and is covered with millions of villi that are separated by ...

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 ...

In a recent article published in Nature, researchers developed an ingestible, single-use device to collect samples from different regions of the human intestine, including the duodenum, jejunum, ileum ...

While in vivo animal models are commonly employed for pharmacokinetic studies, they are often expensive, low in throughpu,t and typically fail to accurately replicate key characteristics of the human ...
