Gastric cancer cells can activate KRAS-driven signals, enabling autonomous tumor growth by producing their own WNT proteins. New research reveals how gastric cancer cells exploit WNT signaling for ...

Common conditions such as indigestion and heartburn, as well as peptic ulcers, autoimmune gastritis and stomach and esophageal cancers involve disruptions of the normal activity of parietal cells (PCs ...

Gastric (stomach) cancer remains one of the most common and deadly cancers in East Asia, including Korea. Yet despite its ...

Common conditions such as indigestion and heartburn as well as peptic ulcers, autoimmune gastritis and stomach and esophageal cancers have one thing in common – they involve disruptions of the normal ...

Scientists have found a link between blood type A and a higher risk of stomach cancer. This connection appears over time.

Transplanting human gastric organoids engineered to release insulin in diabetic mice reduced hyperglycemia, offering a therapeutic avenue for type 1 diabetes. Researchers had previously reprogrammed ...

When the stomach gets injured, the large, enzyme-secreting cells in its lining, called chief cells, can quickly reprogram themselves to become small, proliferative cells to repair the damaged tissue.

A dangerous stomach condition is silently affecting millions of Americans, often developing for years without obvious symptoms until serious complications emerge. Atrophic gastritis represents one of ...

Scientists report in Nature using pluripotent stem cells to generate human stomach tissues in a petri dish that produce acid and digestive enzymes. Publishing their findings online Jan. 4, researchers ...

Type 1 diabetes is caused by an insufficient production of the hormone insulin by cells in the pancreas called beta cells and estimated to affect 9.5 million people worldwide. Low insulin levels allow ...

Researchers have identified molecular and genetic pathways that direct the generation and maturation of parietal cells, the only cells in the body that produce acid, from stem cells. The findings can ...
