| Gut-on-a-chip microfluidics technology presents an opportunity to characterize strain function within a simulated human gastrointestinal tract. The authors showed how in vitro gut-chip models could be used to construct mechanistic models of strain activity and recapitulate the behavior of the engineered strain in a non-human primate model.

| B. dentium cell-free supernatant and γ-glutamylcysteine were taken up by human colonic T84 cells, increased glutathione levels, and reduced ROS generated by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stressors thapsigargin and tunicamycin. [Gut Microbes] |

|
| Scientists used a human intestinal organoid model to define host transcriptional responses to S. Typhimurium infection, also determining host pathways dependent on Salmonella pathogenicity island- 1-(SPI-1) and -2-encoded type 3 secretion systems [mBio] |

|
| Intestinal organoids derived from mouse small intestine were treated with vitamin D3, and the effects on intestinal stemness and differentiation were evaluated using real-time PCR and immunofluorescence staining of the distinct lineage markers. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |

|
| RNA-sequencing datasets in the NCBI GEO repository were first analyzed; upregulation of cannabinoid receptors was observed in both primary and metastatic colorectal cancer tumor tissues. [Cancer Gene Therapy] |

|
| Investigators identified the mechanism of long non-coding RNA OIP5-AS1 (lncRNA OIP5-AS1) in colon cancer (CC) development. OIP5-AS1 expression pattern in CC tissues and cells was detected and the relation between OIP5-AS1 level and CC prognosis was analyzed. [Cancer Gene Therapy] |

| The effects of worenine on colorectal cancer cell proliferation, colony formation and cell cycle distribution were measured. [Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters] |

|
| Researchers determined how glucose concentration influences cancer cells’ response to metformin. They used two colorectal cancer cell lines with different growth rates and clinically achievable metformin concentrations. [Scientific Reports] |
