| To trace the fate of human colonic stem or differentiated cells, scientists generated LGR5-tdTomato, LGR5-iCT, LGR5-split-Cre, and KRT20-ERCreER knock-in human colon organoids via genome engineering. [Gastroenterology] |

|
|
| The authors showed that specific microbiota members altered epithelial homeostasis by increasing epithelial turnover rate, crypt proliferation, and major histocompatibility complex class II expression. [Cell Host & Microbe] |
|
|
|
| Researchers showed that upregulated DExD-box helicase 39B (DDX39B) correlated with liver metastases and aggressive phenotypes in colorectal cancer. [Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy] |
|
|
|
| Investigators demonstrated that mannose treatment enhanced lysosomal integrity and limited the release of cathepsin B, preventing mitochondrial dysfunction and myosin light chain kinase-induced tight junction disruption in the context of intestinal epithelial damage [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists revealed the pathogenic mechanism of NDUFA4 in gastric cancer (GC). NDUFA4 expression was explored in single-cell and bulk RNA-seq data as well as GC tissue microarray. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Researchers found that H. pylori and cytotoxin-A (CagA) downregulated deleted-in-liver-cancer-1 (DLC1v1/4) promoter activities, and that DLC1v1/4 inhibited cell migration and counteracted CagA-driven stress phenotypes enforcing focal adhesion. [Cell Death Discovery] |
|
|
|
| The authors investigated the effects of titanium dioxide food grade exposure after being removed from colon cell cultures. [Toxicology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators used human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived intestinal epithelial cells, grown as a cell layer, to study the effects of butyrate, propionate, and acetate on whole genome gene expression in the cells. [Scientific Reports] |
|
|
|
| The non-psychoactive phytocannabinoid cannabidiol significantly inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion of colon cancer cells in a dose- or time-dependent manner. [Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the hypothesis that inhibition of PAKs with IPA-3 and PF-3758309 treatment could synergistically reduce colon carcinoma cell growth. [International Journal of Radiation Biology] |

|
|
| At the interface between the host and the microbiota, alterations in the host innate immune system and in circulating soluble factors that regulate iron are associated with metabolic disease. [Nature Reviews Endocrinology] |

|
| Arbele, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, announced the successful dosing of the first patient in Australia in Phase I Study of ARB202, for the treatment of advanced gastrointestinal cancers patients. [Arbele] |
|
|
|
| Innovative Cellular Therapeutics, Inc. announced that the first patient has been enrolled in its Phase I trial of GCC19CART for relapsed/refractory metastatic colorectal cancer. [Innovative Cellular Therapeutics, Inc.] |
