New Study Reveals Gut is Organized by Function, and Opportunities for Better Drug Design
As food enters the intestine, it embarks on a windy, lengthy journey. For most of the route, its surroundings don't appear to change much. But new research from Rockefeller's Daniel Mucida shows that the food-processing canal consists of compartments that pace the immune system's reactions to the food passing through--with less aggressive defenses in the first segments where nutrients are absorbed, and more forceful responses at the end, where pathogens are eliminated.
