The tumours which did lift when fluid was injected were found to be less invasive than those that did not ( sm1 or sm2-invasion confined to the upper two thirds of the submucosa, with at least 1mm of uninvolved submucosa underneath ).

This week, scientists from around the world, who use a decellularized kind of pig intestine known as SIS ( for small-intestinal submucosa ) will gather in Orlando to discuss SIS as a scaffold for tissue regeneration in everything from a knee ligament to abdominal hernia repair to small bowel regeneration.

A well studied model is celiac disease, in which increased intestinal permeability appears secondary to the abnormal immune reaction induced by gluten and allows fragments of gliadin protein to get past the intestinal epithelium, triggering an immune response at the intestinal submucosa level that leads to diverse gastrointestinal or extra-gastrointestinal symptoms.

However, five findings have been associated with a high specificity for coeliac disease : scalloping of the small bowel folds ( " pictured " ), paucity in the folds, a mosaic pattern to the mucosa ( described as a " cracked-mud " appearance ), prominence of the submucosa blood vessels, and a nodular pattern to the mucosa.
