Use of Human Intestinal Enteroids for Recovery of Infectious Human Norovirus from Berries and Lettuce. [PDF]
Norovirus (NoV) is the leading cause of viral foodborne gastroenteritis globally. Currently, the gold standard for detecting NoV in clinical, food, and environmental samples is via molecular-based methods, primarily RT-PCR. Nevertheless, there is a great

Genetic Manipulation of Human Intestinal Enteroids Demonstrates the Necessity of a Functional Fucosyltransferase 2 Gene for Secretor-Dependent Human Norovirus Infection. [PDF]
Several studies have demonstrated that secretor status is associated with susceptibility to human norovirus (HuNoV) infection; however, previous reports found that FUT2 expression is not sufficient to allow infection with HuNoV in a variety of continuous

Human intestinal enteroids as a model of Clostridioides difficile-induced enteritis. [PDF]
Clostridioides difficile is an important nosocomial pathogen that produces toxins to cause life-threatening diarrhea and colitis. Toxins bind to epithelial receptors and promote the collapse of the actin cytoskeleton. C.

Bile acids and ceramide overcome the entry restriction for GII.3 human norovirus replication in human intestinal enteroids. [PDF]
Significance Many viral pathogens replicate in the human small intestine where they must invade the epithelial barrier that has evolved to protect the host against microbial assaults. Using a human norovirus strain that requires bile to replicate in stem

Human norovirus exhibits strain-specific sensitivity to host interferon pathways in human intestinal enteroids. [PDF]
Significance Host innate immune responses are the first line of defense against viral infections, with the outcome of infection determined by the interplay between virus and host defense mechanisms.

Astrovirus replication in human intestinal enteroids reveals multi-cellular tropism and an intricate host innate immune landscape. [PDF]
Human astroviruses (HAstV) are understudied positive-strand RNA viruses that cause gastroenteritis mostly in children and the elderly. Three clades of astroviruses, classic, MLB-type and VA-type have been reported in humans.

Molecular Basis and Differentiation-Associated Alterations of Anion Secretion in Human Duodenal Enteroid Monolayers [PDF]
Background & Aims: Human enteroids present a novel tool to study human intestinal ion transport physiology and pathophysiology. The present study describes the contributions of Cl- and HCO3 - secretion to total cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP ...

Standardization of an antiviral pipeline for human norovirus in human intestinal enteroids demonstrates nitazoxanide has no to weak antiviral activity. [PDF]
Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis. In immunocompetent hosts, symptoms usually resolve within 3 days; however, in immunocompromised persons, HuNoV infection can become persistent, debilitating, and sometimes life ...

Human Intestinal Enteroids: New Models to Study Gastrointestinal Virus Infections. [PDF]
Human rotavirus (HRV) and human norovirus (HuNoV) infections are recognized as the most common causes of epidemic and sporadic cases of gastroenteritis worldwide. The study of these two human gastrointestinal viruses is important for understanding basic virus-host interactions and mechanisms of pathogenesis and to establish models to evaluate vaccines ...
