Microbial Amplicon Sequencing Analysis of Microbial Populations The risk of lung cancer is known to be associated with exposure to cigarette smoke carcinogens and alterations in intestinal microbiota. However, the impact of NNK and BaP—two crucial components of cigarette smoke carcinogens—on the intestinal microbiota of lung cancer remains ...
As a parent, you want and hope the best for your children. When your child is diagnosed with a severe condition such as Short Bowel Syndrome, you can feel as if your world has turned upside down. Managing their disease and helping your child lead a better life becomes your top priority. For any parent, the first step in supporting your child is to better understand their disease and the ...
Created for parents, by parents. No parent expects the news. So when you receive the news of a Short Bowel Syndrome diagnosis, it’s only fair that it’s a little overwhelming. Your picture of what the future of your family looks like begins to shift, and you have to shift with it. Let’s start off by saying, you’re not alone. There are parents, caregivers and family ...
“I was lucky enough to get cerebral malaria,” he says. The disease has a fatality rate of 28 percent and can cause lifelong brain damage in survivors, who may also contract the disease multiple times during childhood, making them listless and feverish during crucial developmental years. ...
In addition to the advantages of conventional non-target exploratory analysis, metabolomics can also detect specific metabolites related to intestinal bacteria, clearly reflecting the functional change of intestinal flora under specific conditions. Combined with the sequencing analysis technology of intestinal bacteria, a key strategy for ...
Their relative population size is dynamic, depending on the state of the body (inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, etc.). The intestinal microecosystem is rich in various compounds secreted by the host, such as glycoproteins, saliva, gastric juice, bile salts and mucus, and consumes about 1.5 kg of amino acids, short-chain fatty acids and dietary fiber from ...
Both current in vitro and in vivo models used in the development of candidate therapies for the treatment of intestinal diseases have severe limitations. RepliGut®, an in vitro human intestinal epithelial stem cell model, addresses many of these issues and has significant potential to reduce the time and cost of drug development. ...
Intestinal inflammatory diseases are highly complex, which has thus far prevented development of an effective in vitro disease model. ...
As such, the Altis system uses primary human stem cells to generate a platform that mimics real human intestinal biology far more accurately than models using iPSCs. Unpacking the Complexity of In VitroIntestinal Models Most human diseases involve a combination of effects from multiple environmental factors and multiple genes. ...
Rhythmic signals of the stomach, small intestine, and colon could be identified in all three subjects. Patients showed gradual increase in myoelectric intestinal and colonic activity leading up to the first recorded bowel movement. Conclusion: Measuring myoelectric intestinal activity continuously using a wireless patch system is feasible in a ...
