Human Colitis‐on‐Chip Model Reveals Dual Roles of Butyrate in Epithelial and Macrophage Defense Against Candida albicans Tissue Invasion

Small, EarlyView.
This study establishes a human immunocompetent colitis‐on‐chip model that mimics inflamed gut mucosa and enables quantitative analysis of Candida albicans tissue invasion under DSS‐induced injury. It reveals that microbiota‐derived butyrate simultaneously stabilizes epithelial junctions and reprograms macrophages via HDAC/NLRP3‐dependent mechanisms ...

Eccrine Squamous Syringometaplasia Mimicking Acute Cutaneous GVHD in a Pediatric HSCT Recipient: Case Report and Brief Review of the Indexed Literature

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eccrine squamous syringometaplasia (ESS) is an uncommon reactive alteration of eccrine ducts, most often reported in oncologic and transplant settings, where it may clinically mimic acute cutaneous graft‐versus‐host disease (GVHD). We describe a 3‐year‐old boy with chronic granulomatous disease who developed a diffuse erythematous eruption 6 ...
