While this image might look like a multicolored tile floor, it is actually a cross section through the fingerlike bumps on the intestinal wall called villi. The cells within the villi, which you can ...

a preliminary investigation was made of the histology and histochemistry of the gas gland to identify the types of cells which are involved in the secretion of gases.

When is food simply nourishing and enjoyable, and when does it provoke an allergic reaction? The answer appears to lie in the ...

A crucial connection between goblet cells and the gut microbiome—the trillion-strong microbial community in the GI tract—is also shown by the study. Both parties benefit from this relationship ...
