Organoids are small and simple models of organs, allowing ex vivo organ manipulation and investigation. Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) are propagated to form three-dimensional mini-intestines, giving ...

New hydrogels mimic intestines when lined with epithelial cells. A study demonstrated hydrogels in various stiffnesses are valuable for learning the dynamics of pathogens that cause diarrhea and other ...

Human noroviruses, GII.4 strains in particular, are the chief drivers of acute viral gastroenteritis around the world, a condition for which there are no vaccines or antivirals. Understanding how ...

Working with human stem cells that form a kind of 'mini intestine-in-a-dish,' scientists say they have found several molecular mechanisms for COVID-19-related diarrhea, suggesting potential ways to ...

People that have type O blood tend to get more seriously ill from a cholera infection than people with other blood types. Research published in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene ...

In O blood group persons, cholera toxin induces high levels of a signaling molecule in intestinal cells, causing a more severe degree of diarrhea and dehydration. Cholera affects 3 million to 5 ...
