    Abstract

    Bifidobacterium pseudolongum-Derived Bile Acid from Dietary Carvacrol and Thymol Supplementation Attenuates Colitis via cGMP-PKG-mTORC1 Pathway

    Investigators uncovered a novel regulatory mechanism where hyodeoxycholic acid and 12-ketodeoxycholic acid inhibited colonic inflammation by reducing the expression of transmembrane guanylate cyclase 1A in the colonic epithelium.

    p21 Regulates Wnt-Notch Balance via DREAM/MMB/RB-E2F1 and Maintains Intestinal Stem Cell Homeostasis

    Disruption in Wnt-Notch signaling was accompanied by the loss of intestinal stem cell compartment, increase in Bmi1 positive cells, loss of Olfm4/Lgr5 positive cells, and reduced secretory Paneth cells and goblet cells in the intestinal crypts of p21TKO mice.
