|
| Through a series of studies spanning in vitro efferocytosis, ex vivo intestinal organoids, and in vivo Cre-mediated deletion of Paneth cells, researchers showed that Paneth cells mediate apoptotic cell uptake of dying neighbors. [Current Biology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers showed that untransformed intestinal epithelial cell layers initiate immediate focal contractions, affecting hundreds to thousands of epithelial cells, in response to bacterial infection. [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America] |

|
| Scientists leveraged a lab-developed four-dimensional culture model by a magnetic responsive alginate-based hydrogel to rotating magnets that could mimic stress stimuli in gastric cancer. [Biofabrication] |
|
|
|
| Investigators report that SARS-CoV-2 productively infected both proximally and distally patterned human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived intestinal organoids, leading to the release of infectious viral particles while stimulating a robust transcriptomic response, including a significant upregulation of interferon-related genes that appeared to be conserved across multiple epithelial cell types.

|
| Colorectal cancer spheroids were developed using hanging drop and forced floating in serum-free and non-attachment conditions and their morphological features were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. [Cancer Cell International] |

|
| Peptides from milk proteins is gaining popularity in various therapeutics including human cancer. Researchers investigated the anti-cancerous and anti-inflammatory properties of camel whey protein hydrolysates [Scientific Reports] |

|
| Platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α (PDGFRα)-positive intestinal cells were distributed widely in the lamina propria, smooth muscles, and serosal layers. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| The expression of miR-98 in CD44+ gastric cancer stem cells (GCSCs) was verified by RT-PCR. The miR-98 was overexpressed in CD44+ GCSCs by Lentivirus. [Life Sciences] |

|
|
| The authors highlight the pathways by which intestinal epithelial cells sense microbiota-derived signals and the necessity of these detection pathways in maintaining epithelial barrier integrity. [Genes & Immunity] |
