A study published in the journal Cell Host & Microbe by Brazilian and American researchers suggests that a diet rich in soluble fiber can protect the intestine against pathogenic bacteria.

On the left, large intestine tissue from a healthy person; on the right, from a patient with active C. difficile infection. The white areas show the cells that line the intestine (epithelial cells).

Researchers say they have mapped more than 200,000 cells in a cubic centimeter of brain tissue and have traced how they're all connected.

When it comes to eating more fiber, you might think of beans, wheat bran, or hearty grains like steel-cut oats, but these ...

The cells in human bodies are subject to both chemical and mechanical forces. But until recently, scientists have not understood much about how to manipulate the mechanical side of that equation. That ...

Arterial vascular grafts are promising for vascular reconstruction but face risk of restenosis. Here, the authors report an electronic vascular conduit for in situ, long-term monitoring of ...

Fiber supplements can help meet daily fiber intake goals and assist with weight loss, constipation, and blood glucose control. To get the most benefit, you should take them consistently, at a ...

When the researchers stimulated the fibers, the muscle contracted in multiple ... the Eugene Bell Career Development Professor of Tissue Engineering in MIT's Department of Mechanical Engineering.
