| To functionally map how cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic cues co-regulate cell fate, scientists performed a systematic single-cell analysis of 1,107 colonic organoid cultures regulated by CRC oncogenic mutations, microenvironmental fibroblasts and macrophages, stromal ligands, and signaling inhibitors.

|
| Researchers demonstrated that the phosphorylation of SCAP by the atypical PKC, PKCλ/ι promoted its degradation and inhibited the processing and activation of SREBP2, the master regulator of cholesterol biosynthesis. [Nature Communications] |

|
| Scientists hypothesized that butyrate would limit the epithelial mitochondrial disruption caused by E. coli-LF82. Human colonic organoids and the T84 epithelial cell line infected with E. coli-LF82 showed a significant increase in mitochondrial network fission that was reduced by butyrate co-treatment.

| Investigators evaluated stem cell composition, autophagic vesicle content, organoid formation, and in vivo regeneration in mice with intestinal epithelial deletion of the RNA-binding protein IMP1. [Cellular And Molecular Gastroenterology And Hepatology] |

| Cepharanthine (CEP) inhibited the cellular activity of gastric cancer AGS, HGC27, and MFC cell lines in this study. CEP-induced apoptosis reduced Bcl-2 expression and increased cleaved caspase 3, cleaved caspase 9, Bax, and Bad expression. [Cell Death Discovery] |

|
| Investigators conducted comprehensive investigations utilizing human colorectal cancer HCT116 cells, human umbilical cord vascular endothelial cells, and zebrafish embryos to assess the potential benefits of DMA in suppressing tumor angiogenesis. [Biochemical Pharmacology] |
