Dietary Fiber Is Essential to Maintain Intestinal Size, L-Cell Secretion, and Intestinal Integrity in Mice

Kristina Schoonjans

Dietary fiber has been linked to improved gut health, yet the mechanisms behind this association remain poorly understood. One proposed mechanism is through its influence on the secretion of gut hormones, including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and gluca ...

Magnetoelectric micromachines with wirelessly controlled navigation and functionality

Mahmut Selman Sakar

The use of a single energy source for both manipulating micromachines and triggering their functionalities will result in highly integrated devices and simplify the design of the controlling platform. Here, we demonstrate this concept employing magnetoelec ...

Systems Toxicology Approach to Understand the Kinetics of Benzo(a)pyrene Uptake, Biotransformation, and DNA Adduct Formation in a Liver Cell Model

Kristin Schirmer

Cell-based models are important for deriving mechanistic information about stress response pathways that have evolved to protect cells from toxic insult, such as exposure to environmental pollutants. One determinant of the stress response is the amount of ...

The Receptor TGR5 Mediates the Prokinetic Actions of Intestinal Bile Acids and Is Required for Normal Defecation in Mice

Kristina Schoonjans

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Abnormal delivery of bile acids (BAs) to the colon as a result of disease or therapy causes constipation or diarrhea by unknown mechanisms. The G protein-coupled BA receptor TGR5 (or GPBAR1) is expressed by enteric neurons and endocrine ...

Microsegregation In Cellular Solidification

Andreas Mortensen

Microsegregation in a binary alloy solidified in the form of deep cells is predicted using a simplified finite difference model. The model accounts for solid state diffusion and for flow of liquid between cells driven by solidification shrinkage. Cell tip ...
