Common conditions such as indigestion and heartburn, as well as peptic ulcers, autoimmune gastritis and stomach and esophageal cancers involve disruptions of the normal activity of parietal cells (PCs ...
Type 1 diabetes is caused by an insufficient production of the hormone insulin by cells in the pancreas called beta cells and estimated to affect 9.5 million people worldwide. Low insulin levels allow ...
In the stomach, so-called parietal cells are responsible for acid production. They react not only to the body's own messenger molecules, but also to bitter-tasting food constituents such as caffeine.
Type 1 diabetes is caused by an insufficient production of the hormone insulin by cells in the pancreas called beta cells and is estimated to affect 9.5 million people worldwide. Subscribe to our ...
In a proof of concept that may reshape the treatment landscape for insulin-dependent diabetes, scientists have demonstrated that human stomach cells can be reprogrammed to secrete insulin—potentially ...
Twelve people whose stomach or colon cancers had defeated every available treatment were infused with their own immune cells, ...
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions took a closer look at how the gastrointestinal tissue repairs itself. They reveal in the Proceedings of the National Academy of ...

When the stomach gets injured, the large, enzyme-secreting cells in its lining, called chief cells, can quickly reprogram themselves to become small, proliferative cells to repair the damaged tissue.
Scientists report in Nature using pluripotent stem cells to generate human stomach tissues in a petri dish that produce acid and digestive enzymes. Publishing their findings online Jan. 4, researchers ...
A dangerous stomach condition is silently affecting millions of Americans, often developing for years without obvious symptoms until serious complications emerge. Atrophic gastritis represents one of ...
