[Nature Communications] Based on the over-expression of P2Y14R in the intestinal epithelium of mice with experimental colitis, investigators reported that male mice lacking P2Y14R in intestinal epithelial cells exhibited less intestinal injury induced by dextran sulfate sodium.

[Cancer Gene Therapy] The authors assessed the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) based on early growth response 4 (EGR4) using the Kaplan-Meier plotter tool and tissue microarray.

[Cell Death & Disease] The authors highlight reported examples of direct, protein-coded isoform variation of ubiquitination enzymes influencing cancer development and progression in gastrointestinal malignancies.

[Science] Investigators discovered that without resolving lineage plasticity, skin stem cells could not effectively generate each lineage in vitro nor regrow hair and repair wounded epidermis in vivo.

[Scientific Reports] Using TNBC systems, investigators discovered the aryl hydrocarbon receptor suppressed type I interferon (IFN-I) expression via inhibition of STImulator of Interferon Genes (STING), a key mediator of interferon production.

[University of Saskatchewan College of Medicine] Dr. Angelica Lang's research project received $348,076 over four years from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Project Grant program. Lang’s research explores relationships between types of surgeries and subsequent movement pattern alterations, as well as their implications for post-surgery rehabilitation.
