Stomach acid, primarily hydrochloric acid, plays a vital role in digestion by breaking down food and enabling nutrient absorption. It acts as a crucial defense against harmful microorganisms, ...

Mini-stomach models that produce acid have been grown from human gastric cells, helping researchers study rare digestive diseases and test precise treatments.

You have a stomach. I have a stomach. It is one of our few universals. Humans, mate, sing, talk, and raise their children in many different ways, but we've all got stomachs. The question is why.

Scientists have used pluripotent stem cells to generate human stomach tissues in a Petri dish that produce acid and digestive enzymes. They grew tissues from the stomach's corpus/fundus region. The ...

Explore the groundbreaking study on mini-stomach organoids that replicate human stomach regions for advanced research.

Q: Sometimes when I get nervous, my stomach will knot up and start to ache. Sometimes I even get diarrhea, which is embarrassing. Why does that happen? Should I see a doctor? I’d like to know about ...
