Microplastic effects on mouse colon in normal and colitis conditions: A literature review [PDF]
Background Taking into account the global spread of microplastic (MP) pollution, the problem of the MP impact on human health is relevant. MP enters the organism predominantly with water and food, and is mostly detected in the large intestine. Therefore,

A Microbial Lipid‐ATP Synthase Axis Fuels NK Cell Antitumor Activity
This study focuses on the mechanism by which gut microbiota‐derived outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) regulate NK cell antitumor activity. B. intestinalis is identified to decrease extra‐intestinal tumor growth via its OMVs enriched in sphingosine (SP).

Over-Expression of CD200 Protects Mice from Dextran Sodium Sulfate Induced Colitis. [PDF]
CD200:CD200 receptor (CD200R) interactions lead to potent immunosuppression and inhibition of autoimmune inflammation. We investigated the effect of "knockout"of CD200 or CD200R, or over-expression of CD200, on susceptibility to dextran sodium sulfate ...

Colonic Epithelial Circadian Disruption Worsens Dextran Sulfate Sodium–Induced Colitis
AbstractBackgroundDisruption of central circadian rhythms likely mediated by changes in microbiota and a decrease in gut-derived metabolites like short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) negatively impacts colonic barrier homeostasis. We aimed to explore the effects of isolated peripheral colonic circadian disruption on the colonic barrier in a mouse model of ...

Nanoscale Spatial Organization of ARC High‐ and Low‐Order Assemblies at Excitatory Synapses
ARC (Activity‐Regulated Cytoskeleton‐Associated protein) mediates synaptic plasticity by forming nanoscale assemblies in neurons. Using super‐resolution microscopy and time‐resolved anisotropy with targeted tagging, the study reveals low‐order ARC assemblies at synapses colocalizing with AMPARs, semi‐circular structures at endocytic zones, and 60–80 nm

Dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) induces necrotizing enterocolitis-like lesions in neonatal mice. [PDF]
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an inflammatory bowel disease of preterm human newborns with yet unresolved etiology. An established neonatal murine model for NEC employs oral administration of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) combined with hypoxia ...

Method for separating biological cells [PDF]
A method for separating biological cells by suspending a mixed cell population in a two-phase polymer system is described. The polymer system consists of droplet phases with different surface potentials for which the cell populations exhibit different ...

Helminths in the gastrointestinal tract 1 as modulators of immunity and pathology [PDF]
Helminth parasites are highly prevalent in many low- and middle-income countries, in which inflammatory bowel disease and other immunopathologies are less frequent than in the developed world.

Glucosamine sulfate attenuates dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) induced colitis in mice
Glucosamine is a widely used supplement among patients with osteoarthritis. Also, it has been shown that glucosamine exhibits anti‐inflammatory action through the suppression of neutrophil activation. In this study, efficacy of glucosamine supplementation to attenuates DSS‐induced colitis. C57BL/6 mice were separated into three groups (n=10/group).
