Three original images from an artificial colon, taken using an endoscope. The 3D model can be used to adjust the lighting in an original image so that darker areas become better illuminated, as shown ...

The colon is part of the digestive system. It helps the body absorb water and nutrients from food before excreting the waste. It is made up of muscle and located just below the stomach. People ...

Science stinks, literally. At least it does when you build a model human colon to follow the life cycle of E. coli and other bacteria. After noting that scientists tend to study bacteria in isolated ...

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have developed a 3D human colon model integrated with bioelectronics to aid in colorectal cancer research and drug discovery. The "3D in vivo ...

Researchers have developed a miniature 3D human colon model that mimics lifelike functions to enhance precision in cancer research, potentially replacing animal testing in labs for drug evaluation.

The rectum is the end part of the large intestine that connects the colon to the anus. It is the area where a person holds stool before excreting it from the body. It is around 12–15cm in length. In ...
