A patient finishes a round of radiation therapy and the cancer shrinks, but the treatment leaves behind collateral damage: a shredded intestinal lining that can trigger infections, malnutrition, and ...
Researchers at the University of Toronto have discovered that bacteria can drive stem cell regeneration to repair the intestinal lining after injury—uncovering an unexpected way in which the gut ...
A diet rich in the amino acid cysteine may have rejuvenating effects in the small intestine, according to a new study from MIT. This amino acid, the researchers discovered, can turn on an immune ...

A gene that keeps intestinal stem cells stable offers insight into how tissues repair themselves
Years before he conducted the research that would earn him a Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine, Shinya Yamanaka, MD, Ph.D., was a postdoctoral scientist at Gladstone Institutes, studying genes.
A new study reported in Nature has determined that the amino acid cysteine could promote regeneration among cells in the small intestine. The work showed that cysteine can activate an immune signaling ...
When inflammation damages the intestinal lining, differentiated enterocytes and crypt base columnar stem cells (CBCs) revert to a regenerative, fetal-like state and form revival stem cells (revSCs).
CAMBRIDGE, MA -- A diet rich in the amino acid cysteine may have rejuvenating effects in the small intestine, according to a new study from MIT. This amino acid, the researchers discovered, can turn ...
