Prostaglandin E2 promotes intestinal repair through an adaptive cellular response of the epithelium [PDF]
Adaptive cellular responses are often required during wound repair. Following disruption of the intestinal epithelium, wound‐associated epithelial (WAE) cells form the initial barrier over the wound.

Intestinal epithelial responses to Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis: Effects on intestinal permeability and ion transport [PDF]
Salmonella infection of chickens that leads to potential human foodborne salmonellosis continues to be a major concern. Chickens serve as carriers but, in contrast to humans, rarely show any clinical signs including diarrhea.

ER stress transcription factor Xbp1 suppresses intestinal tumorigenesis and directs intestinal stem cells [PDF]
Unresolved endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the epithelium can provoke intestinal inflammation. Hypomorphic variants of ER stress response mediators, such as X-box–binding protein 1 (XBP1), confer genetic risk for inflammatory bowel disease.

Microbial stimulation of oxytocin release from the intestinal epithelium via secretin signaling
Intestinal microbes impact the health of the intestine and organs distal to the gut. Limosilactobacillus reuteri is a human intestinal microbe that promotes normal gut transit, the anti-inflammatory immune system, wound healing, normal social behavior in

Caspase-8 controls the gut response to microbial challenges by Tnf-alpha-dependent and independent pathways [PDF]
Objectives: Intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) express toll-like receptors (TLR) that facilitate microbial recognition. Stimulation of TLR ligands induces a transient increase in epithelial cell shedding, a mechanism that serves the antibacterial and ...

Cellular Composition and Differentiation Signaling in Chicken Small Intestinal Epithelium
The small intestine plays an important role for animals to digest and absorb nutrients. The epithelial lining of the intestine develops from the embryonic endoderm of the embryo.

TLR1-induced chemokine production is critical for mucosal immunity against Yersinia enterocolitica. [PDF]
Our gastrointestinal tract is a portal of entry for a number of bacteria and viruses. Thus, this tissue must develop ways to induce antigen-specific T cell and antibody responses quickly.

Intestinal stem cell proliferation and epithelial homeostasis in the adult Drosophila midgut [PDF]
Adult tissue homeostasis requires a tight balance between the removal of old or damaged cells and the production of new ones. Such processes are usually driven by dedicated stem cells that reside within specific tissue locations or niches.
