Human Primary cells - Gastrointestinal system
The function of the gastrointestinal cellular system, also known as the digestive tract, is to digest food materials, absorb nutrients and expel waste. Digestion is important for breaking down food into nutrients, which the body uses for energy, growth and cell repair. In addition, the gastrointestinal tract controls the digestive process by releasing hormones; it has an endocrine role. Smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, epithelial cells and fibroblasts are vital components necessary for normal gastrointestinal development and function. Atypical cell proliferation and regulation within the gastrointestinal cellular system contribute to the development of pathological disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, diverticulitis and cancer. We offer different types of normal human primary cells in the gastrointestinal cell system, from the colon, esophagus, stomach, intestine or pancreas.
