Altered intestinal barrier function is postulated to be a central predisposing factor to intestinal diseases, including inflammatory bowel diseases and food allergies. However, the mechanisms involved ...
Radhakrishna Rao, PhD, vice-chair and professor in the Department of Physiology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC), has received two large national awards totaling $5 million ...
(Beyond Pesticides, March 13, 2025) Study results published in Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology “suggest that combined [pesticide] exposure may further amplify the toxicity and compromise the ...
The food additive carrageenan (E 407) can be responsible for the development of chronic inflammatory bowel disease, ulcers, and increased blood sugar levels in animals. Researchers have now ...
-- The study presents the journey of designing and optimizing novel gut-restricted PHD inhibitors using the comprehensive generative chemistry engine Chemistry42. -- From initiation to preclinical ...
A team of researchers has unveiled a revolutionary ingestible bioimpedance sensing device capable of continuously and non-invasively monitoring the integrity of gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal barriers.
The intestinal mucosa absorbs nutrients, water, and electrolytes in a controlled manner–while simultaneously keeping out toxins, allergens, and some bacteria. When this barrier is damaged, it is ...
Yet, low dose use of NSAIDS is also related to gastrointestinal (GI) injury. Schemes to avoid GI complications, including those linked with NSAID use, are usually associated with unwanted side-effects ...
