New study shows that dysfunction of protective immune cells in GI tract may contribute to onset of inflammation in Crohn's disease.

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have found that the small intestine grows in response to pregnancy in mice. This partially irreversible change may help mice support a pregnancy and prepare ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells, which form a barrier that defends the body from the outside ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This 'barrier' tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called 'junctions'. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate ...

A research team has uncovered abnormal immune cell function mechanisms that may lead to Crohn’s disease. Their discovery ...
