Epigenetic Regulation Controls Intrinsic and Extrinsic Drivers of Gastrointestinal Development
Gastrointestinal development begins with the formation of a featureless tube known as the primitive gut tube. Endodermal cells lining the inside of the gut tube differentiate into the functional epithelial units of the gastrointestinal system. Mesodermal cells surround the endodermal layer and …

Impact of formula additives on immune and gastrointestinal development in the piglet
… milk oligosaccharides (HMO) could stimulate the development of the neonatal immune and gastrointestinal systems. Dietary βG are able to boost the natural defense mechanism by stimulating both innate (Descroix et al., 2006) and adaptive immune responses (Akramiene et al., 2007). NT are …

Effects of epidermal growth factor on gastrointestinal development and function for improved growth and efficiency in poultry
… factor (EGF), a potent mitogen for neonatal gastrointestinal development, has demonstrated its protective role in supporting and healing the gastrointestinal tract of mammalian models. However, EGF has not been thoroughly assessed for its ability to stimulate gastrointestinal development in …

Embryonic Epithelial Development is Modulated by Extracellular Calcium
… of embryonic chick serum strongly influenced gastrointestinal development. Culture of 16- or 18-day embryonic intestine in high Ca2+ resulted in elevated activity of alkaline phosphatase, a brush border digestive enzyme, and an increase in goblet cell number within the epithelium. Conversely, …

Evaluation of pig brain developmental patterns and the influence of dietary polar lipids on pig development
… in research examining human nutrition and brain development due to their similarities to humans in gastrointestinal development and brain morphology. As such, the neonatal pig has been suggested to be a great model for the neonatal human and due to its size, it has been utilized in magnetic …

Uncovering Signalling Pathways Mediating Gastrointestinal Morphogenesis and Tumorigenesis
The gastrointestinal system undergoes remarkable morphogenesis during development, in which a simple, smooth tube rapidly rearranges to form millions of finger-like projections called villi that line the entire intestinal tract. While gastrointestinal development requires precisely coordinated …

Effects of Incubation Temperature and Transportation Stress on Yolk Utilization, Small Intestine Development, and Post-Hatch Performance of High-Yield Broiler Chicks
… parameters of broiler chicks depend on adequate development of the small intestine. Stressors such as elevated or decreased temperatures during incubation and post-hatch transportation may have an effect on the gastrointestinal development of the broiler chick. The objective of the first study …
