Gut organoids are three-dimensional (3D), stem cell-derived structures that mimic the cellular composition and functions of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract. By replicating digestive physiology ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) have made a significant breakthrough in the development of reliable in-vitro digestion models. This ...

A new mathematical model developed by the researchers takes a closer look at that hidden part of digestion. The model, called ...

Any drug that is taken orally must pass through the lining of the digestive tract. Transporter proteins found on cells that line the GI tract help with this process, but for many drugs, it's unknown ...

Large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, have rapidly entered healthcare, but strong clinical evidence for their real-world use remains limited. A new study published in Gastroenterology & ...

Chemical digestion occurs when the body uses enzymes to break down certain molecules, such as carbohydrates. This process allows the bloodstream to absorb smaller molecules to transport around the ...

Digestive enzymes are found in the digestive system, including the mouth, stomach, and small intestine. They help you break down food and absorb nutrients. Sometimes, the body cannot make enough ...
