Goblet cells secrete mucus, forming a protective layer that prevents harmful pathogens from reaching the inner gut tissues.

Scientists led by the Institute of Nanotechnology in Italy, in collaboration with the ESRF, the European Synchrotron in ...

Using a powerful X-ray imaging technique, they have found detailed structural changes in the intestines of mice with ...

Some of these cells absorb nutrients from the digestive contents, whereas others (called goblet cells) secrete a lubricating mucus that helps the contents travel smoothly. However, the multiple ...

Scientists used high-resolution 3D X-ray imaging to uncover major structural and immune changes in the gut of Alzheimer's ...

Harvard Medical School researchers have analyzed the molecular crosstalk between pain fibers in the gut and goblet cells that line the walls of the intestine. The work shows that chemical signals ...

The answer appears to lie in the balance of microbes that live in our intestine — and a specific protein secreted by intestinal goblet cells that influences that balance. Excess amounts of this ...

Scientists have used advanced X-ray phase-contrast tomography (XPCT) to uncover how gut health may influence Alzheimer’s disease.

X-ray micro- and nano-tomography can provide clues on the processes that link the neurons in the gut and brain and may trigger Alzheimer’s.

Scientists led by the Institute of Nanotechnology in Italy, in collaboration with the ESRF, the European Synchrotron in ...
