Intestinal Epithelial Cells In Vitro [PDF]
Recent advances in the biology of stem cells has resulted in significant interest in the development of normal epithelial cell lines from the intestinal mucosa, both to exploit the therapeutic potential of stem cells in tissue regeneration and to develop treatment models of degenerative disorders of the digestive tract.

Insulin and intestinal epithelial cell proliferation [PDF]
The effects of modification of the levels of endogenous plasma insulin on intestinal epithelial cell proliferation were investigated in rats maintained by total parenteral nutrition (TPN) using either a TPN diet that was high in glucose, or a low glucose (hypocaloric) TPN diet and in orally fed rats (normal and sham operated).

Activation of intestinal epithelial Stat3 orchestrates tissue defense during gastrointestinal infection. [PDF]
Gastrointestinal infections with EHEC and EPEC are responsible for outbreaks of diarrheal diseases and represent a global health problem. Innate first-line-defense mechanisms such as production of mucus and antimicrobial peptides by intestinal epithelial

Modeling gut neuro-epithelial connections in a novel microfluidic device
The intestinal lumen is filled with diverse chemical and physical stimuli. Intestinal epithelial cells sense these stimuli and signal to enteric neurons which coordinate a range of physiologic processes required for normal digestive tract function.

Epithelial cell shedding and barrier function: a matter of life and death at the small intestinal villus tip [PDF]
The intestinal epithelium is a critical component of the gut barrier. Composed of a single layer of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) held together by tight junctions, this delicate structure prevents the transfer of harmful microorganisms, antigens ...

Rho-A prenylation and signaling link epithelial homeostasis to intestinal inflammation [PDF]
Although defects in intestinal barrier function are discussed as a key pathogenic factor in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), the molecular pathways driving disease-specific alterations of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) are largely ...

Epigenetics in Intestinal Epithelial Cell Renewal [PDF]
A controlled balance between cell proliferation and differentiation is essential to maintain normal intestinal tissue renewal and physiology. Such regulation is powered by several intracellular pathways that are translated into the establishment of specific transcription programs, which influence intestinal cell fate along the crypt-villus axis.

Laminaria japonica Extract Enhances Intestinal Barrier Function by Altering Inflammatory Response and Tight Junction-Related Protein in Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated Caco-2 Cells. [PDF]
In the normal physiological state, intestinal epithelial cells act as a defensive frontline of host mucosal immunity to tolerate constant exposure to external stimuli.
