Scientists used pluripotent stem cells to generate functional, three-dimensional human stomach tissue in a laboratory -- creating an unprecedented tool for researching the development and diseases of ...

Using pluripotent stem cells, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital researchers have grown human stomach tissues that secrete acid and digestive enzymes in a petri dish. Now, researchers may grow tissue from ...

Stomach ulcers are common in pigs, like they are in humans. Until recently, the cause of this disease was unclear. The results from this thesis show that two bacteria play a role. One of these ...

Scientists have decoded critical genetic factors in intestinal metaplasia patients, shedding light on early signs and prevention strategies for stomach cancer -- often a 'ticking time bomb' as ...

Melbourne researchers have made the surprise discovery that the 'odd one out' in a family of proteins known to drive cancer development is instead critical for preventing stomach cancers. The research ...

They may be small, but new lab-grown miniature human stomachs could one day help researchers better understand how the stomach develops, as well as the diseases that can strike it. Using human stem ...

Researchers can now grow miniature human stomachs in a petri dish in just about a month. These tiny stomachs measure less than 0.1 inches (3 millimeters) in diameter, but may be valuable tools in ...

Lab-grown mini-organs are advancing at an incredible rate, opening up new ways for scientists to model biology, diseases and new treatments. In a new study, scientists have created the most advanced ...

Jim Wells, PhD, Divisions of Developmental Biology and Endocrinology at Cincinnati Children's, explains how the first-time molecular generation of 3D human gastric organoids (hGOs) presents new ...

In a breakthrough study published in the highly respected journal Cancer Cell[1], researchers have decoded critical genetic factors in intestinal metaplasia patients, shedding light on early signs and ...
