p57Kip2 Imposes the Reserve Stem Cell State of Gastric Chief Cells | Scientists p57Kip2 as a molecular switch for the reserve stem cell state of chief cells in mice. During homeostasis, p57 was constantly expressed in chief cells but rapidly diminished after injury, followed by robust proliferation. [Cell Stem Cell] |

Paracrine Signaling between Intestinal Epithelial and Tumour Cells Induces a Regenerative Programme | Using mouse intestinal organoids, the authors uncovered a paracrine mechanism by which intestinal cancer cells reactivate fetal and regenerative YAP-associated transcriptional programmes in neighbouring wildtype epithelial cells, rendering them adapted to thrive in the tumor context.

Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Induces Enteroendocrine Cell Differentiation of Intestinal Stem Cells through Bile Acid Signaling | Researchers hypothesized that the vertical sleeve gastrectomy-induced increase in enteroendocrine cells was due to changes in intestinal differentiation driven by an increase in bile acid signaling through farnesoid X receptor.
