| Using a Muc6 knockout mouse model, gastric organoids, and cell lines, the authors proposed that Golgi stress responses and aberrant glycans induced by mucin deletion were important drivers of gastric cancer. [Gastroenterology] |

|
| Scientists performed single-cell RNA-seq and lineage tracing experiments and demonstrated that transient activation of p53 was required to properly reprogram damaged epithelial cells in response to severe radiation injury to promote tissue regeneration. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Researchers developed an in vitro model whereby human colon fibroblasts were induced by specific cytokines and recapitulated key features of inflammation-associated fibroblasts in vivo. [Science Advances] |
|
|
|
| Using an Apc-mutant mouse model, investigators reported that GSK3β inhibition countered the actions of Wnt antagonists on intestinal stem cells, resulting in impaired adenoma formation of telomere dysfunctional Apc-mutant cells. [Developmental Cell] |
|
|
|
| The authors reported that polymerase theta (POLQ), a widely conserved DNA polymerase, positively regulated stem cell-like characteristics of gastric cancer (GC) cells. Knockdown of POLQ suppressed the stemness of GC cells in vitro and in vivo. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Scientists reported that FAM120A was upregulated in gastric cancer (GC) tissues and higher in cisplatin-resistant GC tissues, and its high expression was positively correlated with the poor outcome of GC patients. [Communications Biology] |
|

|
|
| The authors introduce the disease-related functions of goblet cells, their relationship with Crohn’s disease, their possible mechanisms, and current Crohn’s disease treatments targeting goblet cells. [Cell & Bioscience] |

| Dr. Eunyoung Choi was an inaugural recipient of an American Association for Cancer Research (AACR)-Debbie’s Dream Foundation Innovation and Discovery Grant. Dr. Choi and her research team seek to evaluate the potential of aberrant fatty acid metabolism as a novel druggable target in gastric cancer. [Vanderbilt University Medical Center] |
