Scientists at Stanford Medicine in the US used an advanced method to look inside the human gut. Science Focus writes about it.

Researchers use imaging to map the digestive system and create a detailed map of the human gut.

The gut is like other systems in the neighborhood: with different types of cells that interact with each other to digest food and protect against germs and infections.. We studied 8 sections of the small and large intestines of nine deceased recipients. To visualize these sections of the intestine, a technology also known as " In simple terms, this method consists of repeatedly staining and washing intestinal tissues with fluorescent antibodies that bind to certain proteins and facilitate visualization..

Then they mapped the gut and thus identified two dozen different cell neighborhoods in the digestive system..

Among them:.



epithelial cells that make up the intestinal mucosa;

connective tissue cells;

nerve cells;

blood vessels See the photo gallery: Scientists have shown a detailed map of the human intestines Let us remind you that earlier a unique operation was performed in Vinnytsia to restore the patient's tongue.
