|
| The authors showed that mesenchymal stem cells differentiated into cancer-associated fibroblasts, induced by the exosomes derived from gastric cancer cells. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Combined bulk transcriptomic and single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis revealed decreased gene expression of markers for differentiated cells in patient-derived organoids derived from metastatic lesions. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| In a Caco-2 cell model of dietary fat-induced intestinal epithelial cell cytotoxicity, oxidative stress and barrier impairment, researchers investigated the relative protection afforded by an anthocyanin-rich bilberry extract or resveratrol. [Food & Function] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the effect and mechanism of β-glucan prepared from Lignosus rhinocerotis using an enzymatic method on epithelial restitution during intestinal mucosal damage. [Journal of Ethnopharmacology] |
|
|
|
| C10 significantly inhibited the proliferation of HCT116 and HT29 colon cancer cells by blocking the cell cycle at the G2/M phase. [Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology] |
|
|
|
| Colon cancer cell lines were treated with different doses of tectoridin. Then, CCK8 and clone formation experiments were performed to detect cell proliferation. [Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry] |
|
|
|
| Investigators showed that polyphenol-rich sugarcane extract exerted anti-cancer properties on a range of cancer cells including human and mouse colon cancer cells lines; human lung cancer, human ovarian cancer, pro-monocytic human leukemia and mouse melanoma cell lines. [PLoS One] |
|
|
|
| Gastric cancer stem-like cells were transfected by hsa-miR-451b inhibitor then researchers used real-time RT-PCR to evaluate its effect on the expression of hsa-miR-451b and two of its direct target genes, stemness markers such as KLF4, SOX2, CD44, OCT3/4 and NANOG genes. [Biochemical Genetics] |

|
|
| Scientists give an overview of the differentiation between ileal and colonic Crohn’s disease using data in the context of epidemiology, genetics, macroscopic differences such as creeping fat and histological findings. [Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology] |
|
|
|
| The authors analyzed the CXCL8-CXCR1/2 axis related signaling pathways and ncRNAs in ulcerative colitis (UC), as well as recent advances in the understanding of the CXCL8-CXCR1/2 axis inhibition as a therapeutic strategy against UC. [Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy] |

|
| Emulate, Inc., launched the Emulate Colon Intestine-Chip for researchers investigating inflammatory intestinal diseases, which will allow researchers to recapitulate specific human colon cell functionality, gain a greater understanding of mechanisms of inflammation, and investigate potential drug targets. [Emulate, Inc.] |

|
| Anokion SA announced that the company has initiated patient dosing in the multiple ascending dose portion of its Assessment of KAN-101 in Celiac Disease disease, a Phase I clinical trial evaluating KAN-101 for the treatment of individuals with celiac disease. [Anokion SA] |
