| Scientists optimized human small intestinal organoid culturing, constitutively generating all differentiated cell types while maintaining an active stem cell compartment. [Cell Stem Cell] |

|
| Using intravital imaging, researchers observed that villus group 3 innate lymphoid cells were largely immotile at steady state but acquired migratory ‘patrolling’ attributes and enhanced cytokine expression in response to inflammation. [Nature Immunology] |

|
|
| Hematopoietically expressed homeobox (HHEX) was required for the pro-tumorigenic effects of yes-associated protein (YAP) during colorectal cancer progression. In response to serum stimulation, Casein Kinase 2 (CK2) phosphorylated HHEX and enhanced its interaction with TEAD4. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists found that expression of the hominid-restricted retrogene POU5F1B through aberrant activation of a primate-specific endogenous retroviral promoter was a strong negative prognostic biomarker and demonstrated that POU5F1B fostered the proliferation and metastatic potential of colorectal cancer cells. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| The authors demonstrated that centrosomal protein 63 (CEP63) protein was upregulated in a large cohort of colorectal cancer tissues and predicted poor prognosis, and USP36 was identified for stabilizing CEP63 by enhancing its K48-dependent deubiquitination. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| Metastasis-associated in colorectal cancer-1 (MACC1) strengthened the interaction of β-catenin with TCF4, thus inducing S100A4 synthesis transcriptionally, resulting in elevated secretion to enforce cell motility and metastasis. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| Investigators produced a stem cell factor (SCF)-emtansine drug conjugate with favorable drug efficacy towards gastrointestinal stromal tumor cells and evaluated it using in vitro cell-based assays and an in vivo xenograft mouse model. [BMC Medicine] |
|
|
|
| The absence of CDK5RAP3 in gastric cancer cells allowed macrophages to secrete more matrix metalloproteinase 2 to promote the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process of gastric cancer cells, thereby enhancing the invasion and migration ability. [Cancer Gene Therapy] |
|
|
|
| A proteomic screen was performed to reveal altered protein kinase phosphorylation in oxaliplatin-resistant colorectal cancer (CRC) tumor spheroids. The function of CHK2 was characterised using several biochemical techniques and evident using in vitro cell and in vivo tumor models. [British Journal of Cancer] |
|
|
|
| Scientists established, characterized, and validated 3D cultures of intestinal organoids obtained from biopsies of NF-κB-RE-Luc mice. [Scientific Reports] |

|
|
| Recent experimental studies have shown that fructose not only serves as a substrate for, among others, intrahepatic lipid formation, but also has a signaling function. [Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism] |

|
| Anthos Therapeutics announced the initiation of recruitment for its second Phase III clinical trial investigating abelacimab, its novel dual-acting fully human monoclonal antibody targeting both Factor XI and Factor XIa. [Anthos Therapeutics] |
