Adult stem-cell therapy holds promise for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. Here
we describe methods for long-term expansion of colonic stem cells positive for leucine-rich …

A layered protonic titanate of lepidocrocite-type, H x Ti 2-x/4 □ x /4 O 4 ·H 2 O (x ∼ 0.7; □,
vacancy), has been exfoliated on the action of an aqueous solution of tetrabutylammonium (…

This paper reports on the swelling and exfoliation behavior of a layered protonic manganese
oxide, H 0.13 MnO 2 ·0.7H 2 O, in a solution of tetrabutylammonium (TBA) hydroxide and …

This paper describes the swelling/exfoliation process in which a layered protonic titanate, H

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a general term for chronic or remitting/relapsing inflammatory
diseases of the intestinal tract and generally refers to ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’…

Background The global prevalence of ulcerative colitis is increasing, and induction and
maintenance of remission is a crucial therapeutic goal. We assessed the efficacy and safety of …

Studies have shown that bone marrow cells have the potential to differentiate into a variety of
cell types. Here we show that bone marrow cells can repopulate the epithelia of the human …

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disorder involving mainly the intestinal tract,
but possibly other gastrointestinal and extraintestinal organs. Although etiology is still …

Tissue regeneration requires dynamic cellular adaptation to the wound environment. It is
currently unclear how this is orchestrated at the cellular level and how cell fate is affected by …

The interaction of mucosal lymphocytes and intestinal epithelial cells is thought to be
important in regulating immune response in the intestinal mucosa, but conclusive evidence is …
