Molecular and functional profiling unravels targetable vulnerabilities in colorectal cancer
We used whole exome and RNA‐sequencing to profile divergent genomic and transcriptomic landscapes of microsatellite stable (MSS) and microsatellite instable (MSI) colorectal cancer. Alterations were classified using a computational score for integrative cancer variant annotation and prioritization.

Enhanced Th1/Th17 Functions of CD161+ CD8+ T Cells in Mucosal Tissues of Rhesus Macaques. [PDF]
Expression of the C-type lectin-like receptor CD161 by human T cells is associated with type-17 responses, which play critical regulatory roles in immunity and inflammation at mucosal sites. However, the functions of CD161-expressing T cells in macaques,

Using infrared gas sensors in an in-vitro dynamic gut model for detecting short-chain fatty-acids: Technical Report [PDF]
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including acetate, propionate and butyrate, are organic fatty-acids that are produced when indigested carbohydrates are fermented in the colon by gut-bacteria. Butyrate is especially considered a beneficial compound in relation to gut health and the maintenance of colonic homeostasis.

Inflammation-related differences in mucosa-associated microbiota and intestinal barrier function in colonic Crohn’s disease [PDF]
Crohn’s disease (CD), characterized by discontinuous intestinal injury and inflammation, has been associated with changes in luminal microbial composition and impaired barrier function. The relationships between visual features of intestinal injury, permeability, and the mucosa-associated microbiota are unclear.

Peripheral blood proteome biomarkers distinguish immunosuppressive features of cancer progression
Immune status significantly influences cancer progression. This study used plasma proteomics to analyze benign 67NR and malignant 4T1 breast tumor models at early and late tumor stages. Immune‐related proteins–osteopontin (Spp1), lactotransferrin (Ltf), calreticulin (Calr) and peroxiredoxin 2 (Prdx2)–were associated with systemic myeloid‐derived ...

Reduction of Alzheimer's disease beta-amyloid pathology in the absence of gut microbiota [PDF]
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia in the western world, however there is no cure available for this devastating neurodegenerative disorder. Despite clinical and experimental evidence implicating the intestinal microbiota in a number of brain disorders, its impact on Alzheimer's disease is not known.

The study evaluated the function and therapeutic implications of PRAME in basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The findings demonstrate that PRAME impairs keratinocyte differentiation pathways. Furthermore, PRAME impairs anticancer response to retinoid compounds in BCC and SCC cells.

What do Cochrane systematic reviews say about the management of irritable bowel syndrome?
BACKGROUND: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a clinical disorder associated with high socioeconomic burden. Despite its importance, management of IBS remains difficult and several interventions have been hypothesized as beneficial for this condition ...

This study investigates an alternative approach to reactivating the oncosuppressor p53 in cancer. A short peptide targeting the association of the two p53 inhibitors, MDM2 and MDM4, induces an otherwise therapeutically active p53 with unique features that promote cell death and potentially reduce toxicity towards proliferating nontumor cells.
