Cell atlasing human intestine using Illumina spatial technology - Illumina

Original story from Hubrecht Institute (Utrecht, Netherlands). The intestines use the rhythm of a signal to decide which cells to make, improving our understanding of healthy tissue maintenance and disease disruption.

Researchers at the University of Louisville have identified a way that a naturally produced compound from gut microbes may help protect the intestine and potentially guide new treatment approaches for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and affects millions of people around the world. These conditions involve persistent inflammation and damage to the intestinal lining. Normally, the gut barrier allows nutrients to pass into the body while helping prevent harmful bacteria from escaping the intestines. In people with IBD, this protective barrier can break down, contributing to inflammation, pain, and long-term complications.

We want to know how many times you can fold an iPhone Duo before it breaks. After waiting over three hours at the Apple store on Friday, we bought one of the coveted iPhone Duo foldable phones in Louisville, Kentucky, and brought it back to CNET’s lab, a bespoke facility where I oversee hardware and software testing as the director of lab operations. The goal is simple. As of Friday afternoon, my team and I have loaded the iPhone Duo into a proprietary machine we built to test foldable phones like Apple’s and Samsung’s rival Galaxy Fold 8, which we’ve already started testing. I’ve overseen the methodology and build of this testing rig for months in anticipation of Apple’s long-rumored foldable iPhone. (Read on for how CNET tests foldable phones.)
