| The authors demonstrated that interleukin-33 (IL-33) induced instantaneous peristaltic movement and facilitated Trichuris muris expulsion. They found that IL-33 could be sensed by enterochromaffin cells, inducing release of serotonin. [Immunity] |

|
| Scientists analyzed altered gene signatures during colorectal tumor progression, and used a complex of molecular and metabolic assays to study the regulation of metabolism in colorectal cancer cell lines, human patient-derived xenograft mouse models and tumor organoid models. [Gut] |

|
|
| The authors identified mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake as a central coordinator of stem cell metabolism. Live imaging of genetically encoded metabolite sensors in intestinal stem cells of Drosophila revealed that mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake transiently adapted electron transport chain flux to match energetic demand upon proliferative activation.

|
|
| A series of in vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to reveal the role of caudal-related homoeobox transcription factor 2 (CDX2) in the invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer. [British Journal of Cancer] |
|
|
|
| The authors utilized confluent Caco‐2 cell monolayers as an in vitro model of intestinal epithelial cells to investigate the potential role of autophagy in the pathophysiology of cryptosporidiosis. [Cellular Microbiology] |

|
| Foxl1 expression was transiently upregulated only in connective tissue cells during the early period of metamorphic climax and was the highest just beneath the proliferating stem/progenitor cells. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators report that endothelial cell protein C receptor was expressed in the colon epithelial cells, CD11c+, and CD21+/CD35+ myeloid cells surrounding the crypts in the colon mucosa. [Scientific Reports] |

|
| This report describes the effects of full-length, wild-type APC (fl-APC) on cell-cell adhesion genes and p120-catenin isoform switching in SW480 colon cancer cells: fl-APC increased the expression of genes implicated in cell-cell adhesion, whereas the expression of negative regulators of E-cadherin were decreased.

|
| The authors investigated the molecular effects of physiologically attainable concentration of curcumin in the intestinal lumen on mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 signaling in Caco-2 cells. [Cellular Signalling] |
|
|
|
| The porcine small intestinal epithelial cell line IPEC-J2 was used to assess the ameliorative effects of alginate oligosaccharide on tumour necrosis factor-α-induced intestinal epithelial cell injury. [International Immunopharmacology] |

|
|
|
| Investigators review different adult stem cell derived gastric organoid model systems and focus on their establishment, phenotypic and genotypic characterizations as well as their use in predicting therapy response. [Cell Death & Differentiation] |

| PMV Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced dosing of the first patient in its Phase I/II clinical trial evaluating PC14586, the company’s investigational lead compound that targets the Y220C mutant of p53. [PMV Pharmaceuticals, Inc.] |
