Human gut-in-a-dish model helps define 'leaky gut,' and outline a pathway to treatment
Once a vague scapegoat for a variety of ills, increasing evidence suggests a condition known as "leaky gut"—in which microbes and other molecules seep out of the intestines—may be more common, and more harmful, than previously ...

Cancer-like metabolism makes brain grow
The size of the human brain increased profoundly during evolution. A certain gene that is only found in humans triggers brain stem cells to form a larger pool of stem cells. As a consequence, more neurons can arise, which ...
