| Wildtype and down regulated in adenoma KO mice and crypt-derived colonoids were used as models for intestinal epithelial response. Paracellular permeability was measured using fluorescein Isothiocyanate-dextran flux. Immunoblotting, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry and Ribonucleoprotein Immunoprecipitation assays were performed. [Gastroenterology] |

|
| Researchers demonstrated that deficiency in Fam3D was associated with impaired integrity of colonic mucosa, increased epithelial hyper-proliferation, reduced anti-microbial peptide production and increased sensitivity to chemically induced colitis associated with high incidence of cancer.

|
|
|
| IL-10/PAK1 double knockout mice were generated and development of colitis and colitis-associated cancer was analyzed. Large intestines were measured and prepared for histology or RNA isolation. Swiss rolls were stained with H&E and PAS. Co-immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence were performed using intestinal organoids, SW480 and normal human colon epithelial cells.

|
| Using mouse intestinal organoids and human gut‐derived Caco‐2 cells as in vitro models, scientists found that expression of Occludin could be significantly suppressed by ectopic overexpression of Lin 28A. [FASEB Journal] |

| High fructose dietH (FrD)‐fed mice were treated orally with mulberroside A for eight weeks. Mulberroside A was found to inhibit hippocampal neuroinflammation and neurogenesis reduction in HFrD‐fed mice. [Journal of Neurochemistry] |

|
| The authors investigated the role of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in intestinal fibrosis using not only a murine fibrosis model but also human myofibroblasts and intestinal epithelial cells. Colon fibrosis was induced in TLR4-deficient mice and its wild-type counterparts with 3% dextran sulfate sodium. [Scientific Reports] |

|
| Myeloid hypoxia inducible factors(HIF)-1α and HIF-2α played opposing roles in acute dextran sodium sulfate colitis. Thus, not only a cell type specific, but also the isoform specific modulation of HIFs need to be addressed in attempts to modify HIF for therapeutic purposes.

|
| Scientists implicated Musashi1 in mouse postnatal development of multiple organs, with Notch signaling alterations contributing to intestinal defects. [Molecular Biology of the Cell] |
|
|
|
| Investigators demonstrated that aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activation by LP-5 could inhibit the Src kinase to increase tight junction protein levels and down-regulate the expression of inflammatory cytokines to protect the intestinal barrier and finally alleviate dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis.

|
| Scientists discuss how Wnt and YAP signaling pathways control the intestinal repair response and the transitioning of cell states, in comparison with the process of intestinal development. [Cell Death & Differentiation] |

| BiomX Inc. announced that phages identified by BiomX with a broad host range were able to target and eradicate 89 percent of distinct gut-harbored Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from samples obtained from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
