qmul.ac.uk Objective Inhibition of food intake and glucose homeostasis are both promoted when nutrients stimulate enteroendocrine cells (EEC) to release gut hormones. Several specific nutrient ...

The microorganisms in our intestine influence communication between gut and brain by producing various metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids which can be sensed by a specialized group of ...

Dec. 18, 2024 — Scientists have generated human stem cell models which contain notochord -- a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, directing cells where to build ...

A precancerous cell is a cell with certain abnormalities that makes it more likely to become cancerous. These abnormalities don't mean that it will become cancer—in fact, most don't—but the diagnosis ...

Stem cells are cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into more mature, specialised cells. Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent ...

Furthermore, metabolites produced by gut microbiota have been found to stimulate enteroendocrine cells, leading to the release of hormones that play a regulatory role in brain function. Additionally, ...

Dec. 20, 2024 — Researchers have made a meaningful advance in the simulation of molecular electron transfer -- a fundamental process underpinning countless physical, chemical and biological ...

Regulatory T (T Reg) cells are essential for maintaining peripheral tolerance, preventing autoimmunity and limiting chronic inflammatory diseases. However, they also limit beneficial responses by ...

CD4 T helper cells are a type of white blood cell called a lymphocyte that serves an important role in your immune system. These cells help defend the body against infection by directing other "killer ...

Kidney cells can make memories too. At least, in a molecular sense. Neurons have historically been the cell most associated with memory. But far outside the brain, kidney cells can also store ...

Developed by Tsutomu Miyasaka in 2009, perovskite solar cells emerged as a breakthrough in photovoltaics and a promising alternative to traditional solar technologies. The world’s most advanced ...
