Since 2015, Intestinal Cell News has been a valuable resource for keeping researchers and medical professionals updated on the latest publications, news and events in the field of gastrointestinal cell biology. Our editorial team collects and publishes the most current articles and reviews using stomach, colon, and small and large intestinal cells. We cover topics including the culturing of intestinal cells, intestinal organoids, intestinal cancers, and gastrointestinal conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn’s disease.

AMP-Activated Protein Kinase-Induced β-Catenin Degradation through Parkin Phosphorylation Reverses Chemotherapy Resistance of Colon Cancer Cells

Scientists explored the mechanism regarding AMP-activated protein kinase-mediated β-catenin degradation in chemotherapy resistance in colon cancer. β-catenin was upregulated in colon cancer tissues and cells, as it was positively correlated with the malignancy and poor prognosis, and chemotherapy resistance of colon cancer.

NTPDase8 Protects Mice from Intestinal Inflammation by Limiting P2Y6 Receptor Activation: Identification of a New Pathway of Inflammation for the Potential Treatment of IBD

Scientists investigated the role of nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase-8 (NTPDase8) in intestinal inflammation. Human intestinal epithelial cells express NTPDase8 and P2Y6 similarly as in mice.

Model Complexity as Determining Factor for In Vitro Nanosafety Studies: Effects of Silver and Titanium Dioxide Nanomaterials in Intestinal Models

Researchers studied the cytotoxic, proinflammatory, and DNA damaging properties of polyvinylpyrrolidone‐capped silver and titanium dioxide engineered nanomaterials in four in vitro models of increasing complexity—from proliferating Caco‐2 and HT29‐MTX‐E12 monocultures to long‐term transwell triple cultures including THP‐1 macrophages to reproduce the human intestine in healthy versus inflamed‐like state.
