New research in eGastroenterology identifies the unfolded protein response (UPR) as a crucial mechanism in maintaining ...

Gut alterations in Alzheimer’s disease can be identified using nano- and micro-XPCT, offering a new method for early disease ...

The intestinal epithelium is a highly dynamic barrier that regulates digestion, absorption, immune responses, and communication between the gut microbiota and the nervous system.

X-ray micro- and nano-tomography can provide clues on the processes that link the neurons in the gut and brain and may trigger Alzheimer’s.

In the animal kingdom, the vertebrate intestine is renowned for its regenerative capacity, a vital process for maintaining ...

Dermatologists often evaluate and treat conditions involving the mucous membranes ... submucosal glands, epithelial cells (including goblet cells), and secretory cells in the mucosa.

Figure 3A shows a number of mucous secreting cells in a metaplastic focus with a characteristic gastric appearance consisting of closely packed, dense, uniform granules, contrasted with a single cell ...

Meanwhile, airway goblet cells express various neuropeptide receptors, and their activation by neuropeptides such as substance P and CGRP induces mucus secretion, exacerbating allergic ...
