| Scientists showed that intestine-draining mesenteric lymph nodes, not intestine proper, were the dominant site of segmented filamentous bacteria-induced intestinal Th17 cell differentiation. [Cell Reports] |

|
| Researchers indicated that intraepithelial CD8+ T cells were activated upon infection of intestinal epithelial cells with SARS-CoV-2, providing one possible explanation for gastrointestinal symptoms associated with COVID-19. [Mucosal Immunology] |
|
|
|
| Flow cytometric, ultrastructural and transcriptional profiling showed that αEβ7-expressing antibody-secreting cells represented an undescribed subset of terminally-differentiated intestinal plasma cells that established direct cell to cell contact with intestinal epithelium. [Mucosal Immunology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the role of circular RNA (circRNAs) which shared the same pre-mRNA with Sp1 transcription factor (SP1) in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and identified that hsa_circ_0026628, a circRNA that originated from SP1 pre-mRNA, was upregulated in CRC cells. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Investigators investigated donor-to-donor variability in human gut adult stem cell organoids. They examined intestinal developmental pathways during culture differentiation in ileum- and colon-derived cultures established from multiple donors, showing that differentiation patterns were consistent among cultures.

|
|
| The authors investigated the effect of trastuzumab deruxtecan on the expression of HLA class I and CXCL9/10/11, T cell chemoattractants, in HER2-positive human gastric cancer cells. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists analyzed cell-free DNA originating from nucleus and mitochondria and investigated their characteristics and mutation status in a cohort of 18 colorectal cancer patients and ten healthy controls using targeted next-generation sequencing and digital PCR. [Scientific Reports] |

|
|
| The authors investigated the protein profile of porcine rotavirus (PoRV)-infected IPEC-J2 cells using quantitative proteomics and provided valuable information to better understand the mechanisms underlying the host responses to PoRV infection in piglets. [Journal of Proteomics] |

|
|
| Scientists investigated the effect of diclofenac, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, on cell adhesion molecules and apoptosis in human colon adenocarcinoma cells. Levels of homing cell adhesion molecule, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and epithelial cell adhesion molecule were evaluated in cancer cells overexpressing or not expressing COX-2.

|
| Focusing on peptides as examples of a macromolecule class, investigators review physiological impediments to optimal luminal presentation, discuss the efficacy of current permeation enhancers-based oral dosage forms, and suggest strategies that might be used to improve them.

| Merck, Inc. announced that KEYTRUDA, Merck’s anti-PD-1 therapy, has received two new approvals from the Japan Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency. [Merck & Co. Inc.] |
