Intestine-Mimicking Cell Model Accurately Predicts Drug Toxicity KRIBBs hIEC model detects gastrointestinal toxicity with 94% accuracy, offering early prediction of drug side effects ...

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 ...

Most people know only two things about the appendix: You don’t need it – and if it bursts, you need surgery fast. That basic ...

Scientists from Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and University College London (UCL) have created the first lab‑grown esophagus—the food pipe—shown to safely replace a full section of the organ and ...

Every time a Burmese python swallows a meal, something remarkable happens inside its body. Its heart expands by a quarter.

For decades, lab-grown cells have been studied in materials that don't reflect the softness and flexibility of human tissue.

Scientists at MIT have discovered that a little-known protein called intelectin-2 plays a powerful double role in defending the gut. The protein strengthens the mucus layer that lines the ...

Scientists from UCL and Great Ormond Street Hospital have created the first lab grown oesophagus - the food pipe - shown to safely replace a full section of the organ and restore normal function, ...

After false starts and incremental gains, scientists crack the problem that made breathing impossible. Will answers come fast ...

A new light-controlled hydrogel developed at CU Boulder mimics the movement and flexibility of real tissue, giving scientists a more realistic way to study ...
