Intestinal transport is a research area that focuses on the movement of molecules and nutrients across the intestinal epithelium in the gastrointestinal tract. This process is crucial for the absorption of nutrients from food, as well as the regulation of electrolyte balance and water transport in the body. Researchers in this field study the various mechanisms and pathways involved in intestinal transport, including passive diffusion, active transport, and endocytosis. Understanding these processes can provide insights into digestive disorders, nutrient absorption deficiencies, and the development of targeted therapies for gastrointestinal diseases.
