High blood levels of autoimmune antibodies directed against tissue transglutaminase are an indicator of celiac disease, though the most definitive way to diagnose celiac disease is by identification ...

†Antibody testing is only accurate if the person's diet contains gluten for at least 1–6 months (varies by source) prior to testing. The amount of time is based on current practice and has not been ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed the first truly accurate mouse model of celiac disease. The animals have the same genetic and immune system characteristics as humans who ...

An international team of scientists based in the Netherlands, and in China, has found that intestinal cells can change specializations during their lives, driven by the BMP signaling pathway, an ...

Intestinal cells can change specializations during their lives. The BMP signaling pathway -- an important communication mechanism between cells -- appears to be the driver of these changes, according ...

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 ...

Americans are drinking less than they have in decades. But a new study on mice shows even one bottomless brunch may shrink the small intestine’s nutrient-absorbing surface and spark inflammation that ...

Researchers have developed the first truly accurate mouse model of celiac disease. The animals have the same genetic and immune system characteristics as humans who develop celiac after eating gluten.
