Colon cancer is often called a “silent” disease because it usually develops without any obvious warning signs. Many people don’t know what it actually looks like inside the colon or how early changes ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have developed a 3D human colon model integrated with bioelectronics to aid in colorectal cancer research and drug discovery. The "3D in vivo ...

Research from an international team finds that the human gut is a site of rapid change, with recent and important deviations from other mammals, including our closest living relative, the chimpanzee.

A miniaturized, biomimetic model of the human intestine has successfully reproduced long-term enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) infection, report researchers from Science Tokyo. Using this innovative platform, ...
