First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study took small tissue samples from the colons of 40 people during routine colonoscopies. Using advanced genetic techniques, researchers created a detailed map of the different cell types and their gene activity. The goal is to better understand how colon diseases and conditions like type 2 diabetes develop.
