| The composition of the intestinal microbiota is associated with both the development of tumors and the efficacy of anti-tumor immunity. Researchers examined the impact of microbiota-specific T cells in anti-colorectal cancer immunity. [Immunity] |

|
| Scientists showed that Cldn18 tumors accurately recapitulated advanced human gastric cancer in terms of disease morphology, aberrant gene expression, molecular markers and sites of distant metastases. [Nature Cell Biology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers reported that food amount was a positive determinant of the gut surface area contributing to an increased absorptive function, reversible by reducing daily food. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| It was widely assumed that SMAD4-mutant (SMAD4mut) cancer cells were unable to undergo epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The authors scrutinized this notion and probed for potential SMAD4-independent EMT execution using SMAD4mut colorectal cancer cell lines. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| Scientists found that both Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and SIRT1 phosphorylated on serine 27 were coordinately upregulated in colon cancer patients’ tissues and human colon cancer cell lines. [Molecular Oncology] |

|
| miR-375-3p, the pulmonary tuberculosis specific marker was found in higher amount in the plasma of intestinal tuberculosis patients than Crohn’s disease while reverse expression was observed in the ileocaecal/terminal ileal tissues of the same patients. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers studied IL-8 secretion, as a marker of pro-inflammatory response through the Toll-like receptor (TLR) pathway, in a Caco-2 monoculture, Caco-2/HT29-MTX di-culture, Caco-2/HT29-MTX/HMVEC-d tri-culture and in a HT29-p monoculture in response to exposure to various TLR agonists.

|
| Valerate, a short-chain fatty acids mainly converted from proteins or amino acids, was demonstrated to promote intestinal barrier function at its physiological concentrations of 0–4 mM in the Caco-2 cell monolayer model of intestinal barrier. [Molecular Biology Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the regulatory function of microRNA miR-145-5p in colon cancer (CC) cells. Bioinformatics analysis was used to screen key genes in CC. [Bioengineered] |

|
| The authors outline the current challenges and forthcoming research perspective for high performance and fostering advanced magnetic nanoparticles in colorectal cancer treatment. [Journal of Nanobiotechnology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists summarize the changes brought about by the changes of commensal bacteria to the inflammation of the intestines and their mutual influence. [Frontiers in Immunology] |

| Medtronic Canada ULC, announced that it has received a Health Canada licence for the GI Geniusâ„¢ intelligent endoscopy module. GI Genius is a computer-aided detection system that uses artificial intelligence to highlight regions of the colon suspected to have visual characteristics consistent with different types of mucosal abnormalities.
