Review

[Trends in Cancer] Scientists address the conundrum of H. pylori-associated apoptosis and review distinct mechanisms induced in host cells that either promote or suppress apoptosis in gastric epithelial cells.

[Cancer Gene Therapy] Investigators provide an overview of p38 and p38γ with respect to gastrointestinal cancers. Targeting p38γ is also discussed as a potential therapy for gastrointestinal cancers.

[Cell] The authors present an overview of inflammasome pathways, outlining the mechanisms of inflammasome formation, subcellular regulation, and pyroptosis, and discuss the wide-reaching effects of inflammasomes in human disease.

[Pathology - Research and Practice] The authors compared and contrasted the numerous mesenchymal cell sources and their cellular features. These many sources of mesenchymal cells included adipocyte cells, fetal umbilical cord tissue, and bone marrow.

[Lab On A Chip] The authors elaborate on different strategies to improve the vascularized human brain organoid microenvironment using microfluidic devices, while discussing the current obstacles and future directions in this field.

[Neuroscience Bulletin] Scientists summarize recent advances in brain organoid technologies and their applications in brain development and diseases, including neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative, psychiatric diseases, and brain tumors.
