Pretreatment of Aged Mice with Retinoic Acid Supports Alveolar Regeneration via Upregulation of Reciprocal PDGFA Signaling

In vitro organoids generated from epithelial cells of mouse or patient with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis co-cultured with young, aged or retinoic acid-pretreated murine fibroblasts were used to test potential targets.

Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and the Intestinal Epithelium—A Review

Scientists assessed the current literature detailing the effects of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on epithelial cells. Marine-derived ω-3 PUFAs, eicosapentanoic acid and docosahexanoic acid, as well as plant-derived alpha-linolenic acid, are incorporated into intestinal epithelial cell membranes, prevent changes to epithelial permeability, inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and eicosanoids and induce the production of anti-inflammatory eicosanoids and docosanoids.

Discriminating Mild From Critical COVID-19 by Innate and Adaptive Immune Single-Cell Profiling of Bronchoalveolar Lavages

In mild COVID-19, CD8+ resident-memory and CD4+ T-helper-17 cells underwent active expansion towards the end of the trajectory, and were characterized by good effector functions, while in critical COVID-19 they remain more naïve.

Epithelium-Derived Indian Hedgehog Restricts Stromal Expression of ErbB Family Members That Drive Colonic Tumor Cell Proliferation

Scientists found that recombinant EREG, BTC, and NRG1 but not Lgr5 ligand R-Spondin promoted growth and proliferation of Apc double mutant colonic organoids.

Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Facilitates Recurrence of Minimal Residual Disease Following Trastuzumab Emtansine Therapy

Flow cytometric analyses indicated that induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition decreased trastuzumab binding, prior to overt loss of HER2 expression in trastuzumab-emtansine-resistant (TDM1R) cells. Kinome analyses of TDM1R cells indicated increased phosphorylation of ErbB1, ErbB4, and FGFR1.

Vinblastine Treatment Decreases the Undifferentiated Cell Contamination of Human iPS Cell-Derived Intestinal Epithelial-Like Cells

Investigators examined whether vinblastine could remove residual undifferentiated human induced pluripotent stem cells in human induced pluripotent stem cells-derived intestinal epithelial cells (hiPSC-IECs), and attempted to generate hiPSC-IECs applicable to transplantation medicine.
