Novel and unscrutinized immune entities of the zebrafish gut

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Understudied cells of the zebrafish immune system include bona fide immune cells and epithelial (‐derived) cells with immune functions. Research focusing on zebrafish cells which demonstrate similarities to mammalian immune cell counterparts may help us understand the pathologies in which they are implicated. Currently available and advanced tools make

Defined microbial communities and their soluble products protect mice from Clostridioides difficile infection

Communications Biology
Clostridioides difficile is the leading cause of antibiotic-associated infectious diarrhea. The development of C.difficile infection is tied to perturbations of the bacterial community in the gastrointestinal tract, called the gastrointestinal microbiota.

Proton pump inhibitors are associated with reduced periodontal disease severityWhy Is This Important?

JADA Foundational Science, 2022
Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), such as omeprazole, esomeprazole, and pantoprazole, are frequently prescribed to treat acid-related gastrointestinal diseases.

Noninvasive ¹³C-octanoic acid breath test shows delayed gastric emptying in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]

, 1999
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of motor neurons. However, ALS has been recognized to also involve non-motor systems.

Imeglimin attenuates liver fibrosis by inhibiting vesicular ATP release from hepatic stellate cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Imeglimin, at clinically relevant concentrations, inhibits vesicular ATP accumulation and release from hepatic stellate cells, thereby attenuating purinergic signaling and reducing fibrogenic activation. This mechanism reveals a newly identified antifibrotic action of imeglimin beyond glycemic control.

Contribution of galectin-1, a glycan-binding protein, to gastrointestinal tumor progression [PDF]

, 2017
Gastrointestinal cancer is a group of tumors that affect multiple sites of the digestive system, including the stomach, liver, colon and pancreas. These cancers are very aggressive and rapidly metastasize, thus identifying effective targets is crucial ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Gastrointestinal Disease Classification in Endoscopic Images Using Attention-Guided Convolutional Neural Networks

Applied Sciences, 2021
Gastrointestinal (GI) diseases constitute a leading problem in the human digestive system. Consequently, several studies have explored automatic classification of GI diseases as a means of minimizing the burden on clinicians and improving patient ...
