    Retrograde Movements Determine Effective Stem Cell Numbers in the Intestine

    Researchers showed using intravital microscopy that, despite similarities in the number and distribution of proliferative cells with an Lgr5 signature in mice, small intestinal crypts contained twice as many effective stem cells as large intestinal crypts.

    Regulatory Enhancer Profiling of Mesenchymal-Type Gastric Cancer Reveals Subtype-Specific Epigenomic Landscapes and Targetable Vulnerabilities

    Scientists derived and applied a consensus mesenchymal-subtype gastric cancer (Mes-GC) classifier to define the Mes-GC enhancer landscape, revealing disease vulnerabilities.

    Abstract

    Acetyl-CoA-Carboxylase 1-Mediated De Novo Fatty Acid Synthesis Sustains Lgr5+ Intestinal Stem Cell Function

    The authors reported that interfering with de novo fatty acid synthesis by deletion of the enzyme Acetyl-CoA-Carboxylase 1 in intestinal epithelial cells resulted in the loss of epithelial crypt structures and a specific decline in Lgr5+ intestinal epithelial stem cells.

    Abstract

    ATF2 Loss Promotes Tumor Invasion in Colorectal Cancer Cells via Upregulation of Cancer Driver TROP2

    Researchers reported that low activating transcription factor 2 (ATF2) levels correlated with worse prognosis and tumor aggressiveness in colorectal cancer patients.

    Circular RNA CircLDLR Facilitates Cancer Progression by Altering the miR-30a-3p/SOAT1 Axis in Colorectal Cancer

    High expression of circular low-density lipoprotein receptor (circLDLR) was found in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues and cells and was closely associated with the malignant progression and poor prognosis of CRC patients.
