The intestine consists of epithelial cells surrounded by a complex environment as mesenchymal cells and the gut microbiota. With its impressive stem cell regeneration capability, the intestine is able to constantly replenish cells lost through apoptosis or abrasion by food passing through. Over the past decade, researchers have identified signaling pathways involved in stem cell homeostasis such as retinoids pathway. Retinoids are also involved in cell differentiation of healthy and cancer cells. In this study, we describe several approaches in vitro and in vivo to further investigate the effect of retinoids on stem cells, progenitors, and differentiated intestinal cells.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by low levels of SMN protein. Several therapeutic approaches boosting SMN are approved for human patients, delivering remarkable improvements in lifespan and symptoms. However, emerging phenotypes, including neurodevelopmental comorbidities, are being reported in some treated SMA patients, indicative of alterations in brain development.

Ethnic fermented foods represent a significant repository for discovering novel probiotic entities. These fermented foods, entrenched in indigenous practices, have conserved a distinct microbiota through generations. Exploration of these fermented foods could yield microbial consortia capable of transforming human health.

S100 protein family members S100A8 and S100A9 function primarily as a heterodimer complex (S100A8/A9) in vivo. This complex has been implicated in various cancers, including gastric cancer (GC). Recent studies suggest that these proteins play significant roles in tumor progression, inflammation, and metastasis.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common and lethal malignancies worldwide, with treatment failure often attributed to chemoresistance and evasion of apoptosis. Cathayanon E (CE), a natural chalcone derivative isolated from Morus alba, has shown anticancer potential, but its role and mechanism in CRC remain largely unexplored. In this study, CE significantly inhibited CRC cell proliferation and induced apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo.
