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.
Scientists observed considerable downregulation of miR-503-5p expression in colon cancer cells and tissues and significant correlation with the TNM stage, differentiation grade and lymph node metastasis of colon cancer. Overexpression of miR-503-5p promoted the apoptosis and G1 arrest of colon cancer cells, and inhibited migration, proliferation, invasion and colony formation.
The authors address the recent advances in in vitro colorectal carcinoma (CRC) model systems, ranging from conventional CRC patient-derived models, such as conditional reprogramming-based cell cultures, to more experimental and state-of-the-art models, such as cancer-on-chip platforms or liquid biopsy.
Scientists demonstrated that flightless-1 regulated endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis in colon cancer cells by modulating Ca2+ homeostasis.
The authors investigated the role of cAMP/silent information regulator-1 pathway in the protective effect of cilostazol using rat model of acetic acid-induced colitis.
Investigators found that evodiamine mitigation of dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis was associated with increased in L. acidophilus and protective acetate production, which might be a promising strategy for treating ulcerative colitis.
Researchers characterized the clinicopathological link between CHD1L and colorectal cancer (CRC), determined the mechanism(s) by which CHD1L drove malignant CRC, and discovered the first inhibitors with potential for novel treatments for CRC.
Researchers studied the role of bile acids and G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (TGR5) in intestinal renewal, and regulation of intestinal stem cell function in mice and intestinal organoids.
