Goblet cells use distinct receptors and signaling pathways to independently perform mucus secretion and endocytosis of fluid-phase cargo with atypical trafficking to deliver lumenal substances to the immune system.
Combining Organs-on-Chips technology with adult intestinal organoids provides an improved model of human duodenum and a new platform for preclinical drug assessment.
Organoids developed from matched human placental tissue define differences in antiviral signaling between cell types comprising the maternal-fetal interface.
