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 ...

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 ...

Gastric (stomach) cancer remains one of the most common and deadly cancers in East Asia, including Korea. Yet despite its ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Modelling organs in culture has great potential to improve our understanding of development, organogenesis and disease. While some endodermal derived organs have been modelled, the corpus region of ...

Being a member of a large family may not be best for your health. A new study found that family size greatly influenced the development of stomach cancer linked to the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, ...

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 ...
