Weaning represents a critical transition in swine production, imposing dietary, environmental and social challenges that reshape intestinal morphology and function. In the days following separation ...

In vitro models of the intestinal epithelium have evolved from simple monolayers of immortalised cell lines to sophisticated three-dimensional co-culture and microfluidic platforms that recapitulate ...

While in vivo animal models are commonly employed for pharmacokinetic studies, they are often expensive, low in throughpu,t and typically fail to accurately replicate key characteristics of the human ...

A research team led by scientists from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in São Paulo, Brazil, has made significant progress in understanding the relationship between gut microbiota and ...

Study in The American Journal of Pathology finds unique strain of probiotic Bifidobacterium bifidum strengthens intestinal barrier function and protects against harmful bacterial and noxious agents ...

Intestinal epithelial cells line the inner wall of the gut, creating a barrier against dangerous bacteria like enteropathogenic E. coli that seek to attach to and destroy this barrier. Such pathogens ...

Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, enabling more precise prediction of drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity ...

(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 ...

Novus and its research partners will showcase new findings in broiler resilience, copper sources and low-energy diets at the 2026 Poultry Science Association (PSA) Annual Meeting, July 9-13 in Toronto ...

Cells on the inner surface of the intestine are replaced every few days. But, how does this work? It was always assumed that cells leave the intestinal surface because excess cells are pushed out. In ...

Despite these efforts, mortality rates continue to rise, making BRD a significant challenge impacting profitability and ...

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.
