Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, enabling more precise prediction of drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity ...

A cell model that replicates the structure and function of the human intestine has been developed, creating an evaluation platform capable of more accurately predicting adverse effects of new drugs.

That bottle of antibiotics in your medicine cabinet might be doing more harm than previously thought. Groundbreaking research from Bar-Ilan University has uncovered a troubling connection between ...

(Beyond Pesticides, March 13, 2025) Study results published in Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology “suggest that combined [pesticide] exposure may further amplify the toxicity and compromise the ...

There is a critical unmet need to help tighten and maintain a healthy intestinal barrier and treat a leaky gut. Researchers have now found that a unique strain of probiotic bacteria, Bifidobacterium ...

Under the surface of an organ, many different cell types participate in crucial interactions. This means that when an organ suffers damage, fixing it is not as easy as slapping on a Band-Aid.

Most people with ulcers and other gastrointestinal symptoms never develop neurological problems. But some 80 percent of people with Parkinson's disease have GI problems, such as acid reflux, irritable ...

When parts of the small intestine are diseased or die, the treatment can involve surgically removing the affected tissue. Although lifesaving, the procedure—referred to as a radical small bowel ...

The intestine is among the most regenerative tissues in the body; however, aging triggers various changes that collectively diminish its regenerative capacity. Consequently, the intestine becomes more ...

A recent study investigated whether a transglutaminase 2 inhibitor has potential as a drug to treat celiac disease. Previous tissue studies have shown that the ZED1227 transglutaminase 2 inhibitor ...
