Patient Derived Colonoids as Drug Testing Platforms–Critical Importance of Oxygen Concentration [PDF]
Treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is challenging, with a series of available drugs each helping only a fraction of patients. Patients may face time-consuming drug trials while the disease is active, thus there is an unmet need for biomarkers ...

Transcriptional responses of mouse proximal colon and colonoids during early whipworm infection [PDF]
Trichuriasis, caused by the parasitic nematode Trichuris trichiura, affects 429–508 million people worldwide. Although the early phase of whipworm infection is crucial for establishing infection, its underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear.

Comprehensive protocols for culturing and molecular biological analysis of IBD patient-derived colon epithelial organoids [PDF]
There are many unanswered questions regarding responses to proinflammatory signals in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). For example, chemokines secreted by IECs upon external stimuli play multifunctional roles in both homeostasis and during ...

Investigation of Colonic Regeneration via Precise Damage Application Using Femtosecond Laser-Based Nanosurgery [PDF]
Organoids represent the cellular composition of natural tissue. So called colonoids, organoids derived from colon tissue, are a good model for understanding regeneration.

Patient-derived colon epithelial organoids reveal lipid-related metabolic dysfunction in pediatric ulcerative colitis [PDF]
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is associated with epithelial metabolic derangements which exacerbate gut inflammation. Here, we develop colon organoid (colonoid) lines from pediatric patients with endoscopically active UC, inactive UC, and those without ...

The dietary phytochemicals carnosic acid and sulforaphane regulate inflammatory markers in ulcerative colitis patient-derived colonoids [PDF]
IntroductionThe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterized by continuous inflammation of the colon with erosion and ulcers. Diagnosis typically occurs in patients between their late teens and mid-30s with no cure. Available

Tofacitinib Downregulates TNF and Poly(I:C)-Dependent MHC-II Expression in the Colonic Epithelium [PDF]
Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC)-I and -II genes are upregulated in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) during active inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), but little is known about how IBD-relevant pro-inflammatory signals and IBD drugs can regulate ...

Pathogenesis of adherent-invasive Escherichia coli LF82 in human colonic epithelium is characterized by adhesive biofilms, mucus penetration, and contact-dependent cytotoxicity [PDF]
Adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) associated with Crohn's disease (CD) are traditionally defined by the adherence and invasion of epithelial cells and survival in macrophages.

Determinants of divergent Salmonella and Shigella epithelial colonization strategies resolved in human enteroids and colonoids [PDF]
Despite their relatedness, Salmonella and Shigella enteropathogens differ in infectious dose, pathogenesis, and disease kinetics. The prototype strains Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (Salmonella) and Shigella flexneri (Shigella) use Type-3 ...
