|
| The authors showed that mRNA and chromatin profiles of abundant CD81− PDGFRAlo mouse stromal cells resembled those of trophocytes and that both populations provided crucial canonical Wnt ligands. [Cell Stem Cell] |

|
| To address whether insulin-like growth factor II mRNA-binding proteins (IMP) 3 controled cancer cell survival, researchers analyzed cell death pathways in in vitro and in vivo experiments after IMP3 downregulation by siRNA or an antisense oligonucleotide. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Scientists observed that Nodal enhanced colorectal cancer cells’ proliferative rate, motility, invasiveness, and epithelial–mesenchymal transition in vivo and in vitro. [Cell Death & Disease] |
|
|
|
| Investigators studied a novel protein prokineticin 2,also known as Bv8, as a key pro-tumoral factor in colorectal cancer progression in in vitro and ex vivo settings. [Frontiers in Immunology] |
|
|
|
| Researchers demonstrated that RAF1, but not its kinase activity, played a crucial role in the proliferation of both Microsatellite Stable and Microsatellite Instable colorectal cancer cell line-derived spheroids and patient-derived organoids, and independently of KRAS mutation status. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| Scientists reported that MRTX1133 treatment caused reversible growth arrest in KRASG12D-mutated colorectal cancer cells, accompanied by partial reactivation of RAS effector signaling. [Oncogene] |
|
|
|
| The authors used mass cytometry of isogenic human colon organoids and patient-derived cancer organoids to capture oncogenic signaling, cell phenotypes, and differentiation states in a high-dimensional single-cell map. [Journal of Cell Biology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators reported that methyltransferase-like 3, a critical enzyme for N6-methyladenosine methylation, was required for intestinal stem cells maintenance as its deletion resulted in fast loss of stemness markers but had no effect on cell proliferation. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| By combining bioimaging and genetic tools with artificial intelligence algorithms applied to colorectal cancer cell, researchers found that the Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC)-dependent actin pool contributed to sustaining levels of F-actin, as well as E-cadherin and Occludin protein levels at cell junctions. [iScience] |
|
|
|
| Two types of human gastric cancer cells were used to establish tumor xenograft models in nude mice that were treated with polyphyllin I to observe tumor growth, while cells also were cultured for in vitro studies. [Frontiers in Pharmacology] |
|
|
|
| ScRNA-seq was performed on two tumors collected from patients with alpha-fetoprotein-producing gastric cancer (AFPGC). InferCNV and sub-clustering were applied to identify typical AFPGC cells, followed by AddModuleScore, pathway enrichment, Pseudo-time, and Scenic analyses. [Cancer Medicine] |

|
|
|
| The authors outline the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in pregnancy and the safety of IBD therapies, including novel agents, with regard to both maternal and fetal health. [Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology] |
|
|
|
| Scientists review the biological features of gastric stem cells at various locations of the stomach under homeostatic conditions, as demonstrated by reporter mice, lineage tracing, and single cell sequencing. [Cellular Oncology] |
|

|
|
| Merck and Eisai provided updates on two Phase III trials, LEAP-003 and LEAP-017 investigating KEYTRUDA, Merck’s anti-PD-1 therapy, plus LENVIMA, the orally available multiple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor discovered by Eisai. [Merck] |
