| The authors showed that Fusobacterium nucleatum promoted colorectal cancer stem-like cells (CCSCs) self-renewal, and non-CCSCs to acquire CCSC features by manipulating cellular lipid accumulation. [Advanced Science] |

|
| Researchers showed that IL-18 was a bona fide IL-22-regulated gate keeper for intestinal epithelial barrier. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists screened a compound library for synergy with low-dose BCL-XL inhibitor A-1155463 to identify pathways that regulated sensitivity to BCL-XL inhibition and revealed that fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) inhibition effectively sensitized to A-1155463 both in vitro and in vivo. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Researchers described suspension culture as a simple, low-maintenance method for culturing human intestinal organoids and for promoting in vitro differentiation of an organized serosal mesothelial layer that was similar to primary human intestinal serosal mesothelium. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists demonstrated that oncogenic LINC021 specifically bound with the m6A “reader” insulin-like growth factor-2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IMP2) protein and enhanced the mRNA stability of MSX1 and JARID2 in an m6A regulatory manner during colorectal cancer tumorigenesis and pathogenesis.

|
|
| A mutational tumor profile was examined using a customized gene panel. Immunofluorescence was used to identify the cellular location of punctate IKKα expression. [British Journal of Cancer] |
|
|
|
| Researchers validated that PDX1, EN2 and MSX1 genes had oncogenic features in colorectal cancer and that their expression levels were increased in correlation with the hypermethylation of intragenic regions. [Experimental & Molecular Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Within LPS-treated MODE-K cells, METTL3 knockdown promoted cell viability, inhibited cell apoptosis, decreased apoptotic caspase3/9 cleavage, and decreased the levels of proinflammatory cytokines and inflammatory enzymes. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| Scientists addressed the relevance of 3D organoid technology to investigate the biological effects of cold atmospheric plasma on normal epithelial stem cells and tumor cells isolated from mouse small intestine. [Cell Death Discovery] |

|
|
|
| The authors summarize the critical mediators and mechanisms involved in immune cell trafficking in IBD and the available evidence for efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulators in IBD and other immune-mediated disorders.
