Phase II Trial of Anti-TL1A Monoclonal Antibody Tulisokibart for Ulcerative Colitis
[New England Journal of Medicine] In this short-term trial, tulisokibart was more effective than placebo in inducing clinical remission in patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.
p21 Regulates Wnt-Notch Balance via DREAM/MMB/RB-E2F1 and Maintains Intestinal Stem Cell Homeostasis
[Cell Death Discovery] Disruption in Wnt-Notch signaling was accompanied by the loss of intestinal stem cell compartment, increase in Bmi1 positive cells, loss of Olfm4/Lgr5 positive cells, and reduced secretory Paneth cells and goblet cells in the intestinal crypts of p21TKO mice.
Theranostic GPA33-Pretargeted Radioimmunotherapy of Human Colorectal Carcinoma with a Bivalent 177Lu-Labeled Radiohapten
[Journal of Nuclear Medicine] Investigators developed a bivalent DOTA-radiohapten, [177Lu]Lu-Gemini, that showed improved radiopharmacology for DOTA-based pretargeted radioimmunotherapy application.
Dietary and Metabolic Effects on Intestinal Stem Cells in Health and Disease
[Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology] Investigators discuss how different diets and metabolic changes influence intestinal stem cells in homeostatic and pathological conditions, as well as tumorigenesis.
A Phase 1 Trial of Trebananib, an Angiopoietin 1 and 2 Neutralizing Peptibody, Combined with Pembrolizumab in Patients with Advanced Ovarian and Colorectal Cancer
[Cancer Immunology Research] Investigators performed a Phase I dose-escalation study of pembrolizumab and the angiopoietin 1/2 inhibitor trebananib. This multicenter trial enrolled patients with metastatic ovarian cancer or microsatellite stable colorectal cancer.
Selenium Attenuates Radiation Colitis by Regulating cGAS-STING Signaling
[Advanced Science] Selenium was protective against radiation colitis through inhibiting X-ray-induced apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and inflammation with the involvement of balancing the generation of reactive oxygen species after the irradiation.
Tuft Cells in the Intestine, Immunity, and Beyond
[Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology] The authors provide an overview of intestinal tuft cells, providing insights into their development, signaling, and interaction modules in immunity and other states.
Confined Copper Depletion via a Hydrogel Platform for Reversing Dabrafenib/Cetuximab Resistance in BRAFV600E-Mutant Colorectal Cancer
[Journal of Controlled Release] Scientists developed a hydrogel platform for confined copper depletion in BRAFV600E-mutant colorectal cancer cells, which effectively reversed dabrafenib/cetuximab resistance and enhancing therapeutic efficiency.
Targeting the Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Pathway: New Opportunities in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Management
[Drugs] Scientists discuss the role of the sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P)/S1P receptor axis in the pathogenesis of IBD and discuss efficacy and safety data from clinical trials and real-world reports on the two S1PR modulators, ozanimod and etrasimod, that are currently approved for IBD treatment.
DKK1 as a Chemoresistant Protein Modulates Oxaliplatin Responses in Colorectal Cancer
[Oncogenesis] By utilizing the leucine zipper protein, investigators disrupted dickkopf-1 (DKK1) signaling, enhancing oxaliplatin sensitivity in oxaliplatin-resistant colorectal cancer cells and xenograft tumors.
Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy for dMMR and pMMR Colorectal Cancers: Therapeutic Strategies and Putative Biomarkers of Response
[Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology] The authors describe the current and emerging clinical evidence supporting the use of neoadjuvant immune-checkpoint inhibitors in patients with DNA mismatch repair deficiency and proficient DNA mismatch repair colorectal cancer, and the potential advantages of such an approach.
Disorders of Gastric Motility
[Lancet Gastroenterology and Hepatology] Scientists provide an overview of gastroparesis and functional dyspepsia from the perspective of gastric motility, discussing what is distinct and what is shared between these disorders.
