Background Insulin-like peptide 5 (INSL5) is an enteroendocrine hormone expressed in distal colonic ‘L cells’. Bile acid receptor agonists are known to stimulate INSL5 secretion in primary cell ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Many degenerative diseases are at ...

Scientists have captured a never-before-seen, high-resolution look at influenza’s stealthy invasion of human cells, revealing that the cells aren’t just helpless victims. Using a groundbreaking ...

Texas A&M researchers found a way to make stem cells produce double the normal number of mitochondria using nanoflower particles. These energized stem cells then transfer their surplus “power packs” ...

The research, published today in Nature Communications, focuses on how cancer cells keep their chromosomes intact so they can continue dividing relentlessly. Normally, every time a cell divides, the ...

Type 1 diabetes is a disease in which the body mistakenly attacks itself as the immune system destroys the pancreas's insulin-producing cells. Why the immune system turns against these cells remains ...

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the complex interactions between gut microbiota and the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). T2DM, a prevalent metabolic disorder, is closely linked to ...

I would need a series of term describing enteroendocrine cell differentiation. A great paper is describing transcription factors that specify the different cell types, including ZNF800, a master ...

Cancer cells can brainwash their neighbors. Like the CIA deploying secret agents to turn an enemy, tumors use a similar strategy to manipulate nearby cells. The tumors’ agents are mitochondria, the ...
