(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) have made a significant breakthrough in the development of reliable in-vitro digestion models. This ...

Gut organoids are three-dimensional (3D), stem cell-derived structures that mimic the cellular composition and functions of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract. By replicating digestive physiology ...

The hazards associated with microplastic pollution are becoming increasingly recognized. However, one study suggests that researchers have misjudged the impacts of nanoplastics — the insidiously ...

Chemical digestion occurs when the body uses enzymes to break down certain molecules, such as carbohydrates. This process allows the bloodstream to absorb smaller molecules to transport around the ...

The human digestive system refers to the organs that take in food and break them down. Digestion describes the complex process that enables the nutrients in food to enter the body and its cells. Food ...
