Deep in the folds of the intestine, in microscopic pockets called crypts, a quiet surveillance system is always at work. Stem ...

Researchers have resolved a 50-year-old scientific mystery by identifying the molecular mechanism that allows tissues to ...

Cranberry extract may strengthen intestinal barrier function via microbiota-dependent and direct epithelial effects.

The intestinal epithelium undergoes rapid renewal every 3–5 days, a process driven by intestinal stem cells (ISCs) located at the base of crypts.
