| Researchers characterized intestinal goblet cells (GCs) expression diversity and defined how a specific GC subtype, localized in the intercrypt surface epithelium, functionally contributed to the formation of the mucus barrier. [Science] |

|
| Scientists found that that Golgi membrane protein 1 (GOLM1) suppressed colorectal tumorigenesis via maintenance of intestinal epithelial barrier. [Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] |
|
|
|
| The authors epigenetically characterized human colorectal cancer using de novo chromatin state discovery on a library of different patient-derived organoids. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Investigators developed targeted organoid sequencing (TORNADO-seq), a high-throughput, high-content drug discovery platform that uses targeted RNA-seq to monitor the expression of large gene signatures for the detailed evaluation of cellular phenotypes in organoids. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| The toxicity of Gemini-Cur on HT-29 and HCT116 was studied through MTT, uptake kinetics, fluorescence microscopy, annexin V/FITC, and cell cycle assays. [International Journal of Pharmaceutics] |
|
|
|
| Galectin 3-binding protein (Lgals3bp) suppressed NF-κB through the downregulation of TAK1 in colon epithelial cells. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| Scientists characterized innate immune responses of human and murine colonoids to bacteria and host products and the role of IL-37/single Ig IL-1 related receptor in regulating these responses. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| The clinical significance and biological function of miR-1253 in the development of colon cancer was investigated. The expression of miR-1253 was identified in colon cancer tissues and cell lines by qRT-PCR. [Clinical and Experimental Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the association between tropomyosin receptor kinase (TrkB/C) with homeobox C6 (HOXC6) and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain‑containing 8 (ADAM8) in the induction of drug‑resistant colon cancer cell metastasis. [Molecular Medicine Reports] |
| |
|
|
|
| Scientists discuss the link between mucin expression patterns and patient survival and propose mucins as prognosis biomarkers of epithelial cancers. [Biochimica et Biophysica Acta-Reviews On Cancer] |
|
|
|
| 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] |

|
| Bristol Myers Squibb announced that Opdivo, in combination with fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemotherapy, was approved by the FDA for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic gastric cancer, gastroesophageal junction cancer, and esophageal adenocarcinoma, regardless of PD-L1 expression status.
