    Gut-Liver Axis Calibrates Intestinal Stem Cell Fitness

    Through hepatectomy and transcriptomic and proteomic profiling, scientists identified pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), a liver-derived soluble Wnt inhibitor, which restrained intestinal stem cell hyperproliferation to maintain gut homeostasis by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

    Chemically-Defined and Scalable Culture System for Intestinal Stem Cells Derived from Human Intestinal Organoids

    Researchers established a human intestinal stem cell (ISC) culture method expanded under feeder-free and fully defined conditions through selective enrichment of ISC populations within human intestinal organoid derived from human indcuedpluripotent stem cells.

    Oxidative Stress Accelerates Intestinal Tumorigenesis by Enhancing 8-Oxoguanine-Mediated Mutagenesis in MUTYH-Deficient Mice

    Investigators explored the causal relationship between oxidative stress, somatic mutations in pre-tumor-initiated normal tissues, and tumor incidence in the small intestines of MUTYH-proficient and MUTYH-deficient mice.

    Synbiotic Combination Between Lactobacillus paracasei VL8 and Mannan-Oligosaccharide Repairs the Intestinal Barrier in the Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Induced Colitis Model by Regulating the Intestinal Stem Cell Niche

    The authors elucidated the process by which L. paracasei VL8 and its synbiotc combination with mannan-oligosaccharide repair the intestinal barrier function in dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis mice.
