The stress polarity signaling (SPS) pathway serves as a marker and a target in the leaky gut barrier: implications in aging and cancer. [PDF]
The gut barrier separates trillions of microbes from the largest immune system in the body; when compromised, a "leaky" gut barrier fuels systemic inflammation, which hastens the progression of chronic diseases.

Pharmacologically blocking p53-dependent apoptosis protects intestinal stem cells and mice from radiation. [PDF]
Exposure to high levels of ionizing radiation (IR) leads to debilitating and dose-limiting gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity. Using three-dimensional mouse crypt culture, we demonstrated that p53 target PUMA mediates radiation-induced apoptosis via a cell ...

Interferon-lambda: A potent regulator of intestinal viral infections [PDF]
Interferon-lambda (IFN-λ) is a recently described cytokine found to be of critical importance in innate immune regulation of intestinal viruses. Endogenous IFN-λ has potent antiviral effects and has been shown to control multiple intestinal viruses and ...

LRH-1 mitigates intestinal inflammatory disease by maintaining epithelial homeostasis and cell survival. [PDF]
Epithelial dysfunction and crypt destruction are defining features of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, current IBD therapies targeting epithelial dysfunction are lacking.

Comparison of Surgical and Cadaveric Intestine as a Source of Crypt Culture in Humans
Human small intestinal crypts are the source of intestinal stem cells (ISCs) that are capable of undergoing self-renewal and differentiation to an epithelial layer.

CLIC and membrane wound repair pathways enable pandemic norovirus entry and infection
Culture methods for studying human norovirus infection have been recently established. Here, Ayyar and colleagues use human intestinal enteroids to dissect viral entry mechanisms and show that CLIC-mediated endocytosis and wound repair pathways are ...
