Article Abstract
In the prevailing model, Lgr5+ cells are the only intestinal stem cells (ISCs) that sustain homeostatic epithelial regeneration by upward migration of progeny through elusive upper crypt transit-amplifying (TA) intermediates. Here, we identify a proliferative upper crypt population marked by Fgfbp1, in the location of putative TA cells, that is transcriptionally distinct from Lgr5+ cells. Using a kinetic reporter for time-resolved fate mapping and Fgfbp1-CreER lineage tracing, we establish that Fgfbp1+ cells are multi-potent and give rise to Lgr5+ cells, consistent with their ISC function. Fgfbp1+ cells also sustain epithelial regeneration following Lgr5+ cell depletion. We demonstrate that FGFBP1, produced by the upper crypt cells, is an essential factor for crypt proliferation and epithelial homeostasis. Our findings support a model in which tissue regeneration originates from upper crypt Fgfbp1+ cells that generate progeny propagating bi-directionally along the crypt-villus axis and serve as a source of Lgr5+ cells in the crypt base.

When Relief Backfires: A Case Report of Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID)-Induced Acute Colitis.

Internal Medicine, Houston Healthcare, Warner Robins, USA.
The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be traced back to the Greco-Roman era, when willow tree bark extract was commonly used for its analgesic properties. Since their inception, NSAIDs have become a common component of treatment plans, with widespread use across various pathological conditions. However, there has been a recent increase in the incidence and prevalence of both upper and lower gastropathies.

Organoids are pivotal for bridging cellular-level and organism-level biological studies; however, significant challenges persist in their three-dimensional (3D) visualization. This study presents a nylon mesh chip designed to overcome these obstacles specifically for intestinal organoids (IOs). The chip, meticulously fabricated and assembled, comprises an upper glass layer, a nylon mesh, and a lower glass layer.

Rationale: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that primarily affects the colon. Although UC is classically limited to the colonic mucosa, rare cases of small bowel involvement have been reported. UC-associated small bowel inflammation is an uncommon complication, most frequently described following colectomy with ileal pouch formation.

Three-dimensional spheroid cultures of crypts from the duodenum, upper jejunum, and ileum of beagle dog were established to investigate species differences in drug transport and metabolism. Four differentiation conditions were tested using jejunum-derived cells: base medium (BM; without Wnt3a, R-spondin 3, and Noggin), BM plus epidermal growth factor (BM + EGF), EGF/Noggin/R-spondin 3 (ENR) for liquid-liquid interface (LLI), and ENR for air-liquid interface (ALI). Transepithelial electrical resistance (Ω·cm) varied among conditions (102-125 for BM and ALI vs 911-1106 for BM + EGF and ENR), whereas the apparent permeability coefficient (P) of Lucifer yellow was similar.

The multidisciplinary study of the well preserved cadaver of the so-called "air-dried chaplain" from the church crypt of St. Thomas am Blasenstein (Upper Austria) not only solved the "mystery" of the excellent preservation of the trunk of this unusual mummified human body, but also provided circumstantial information about this historic individual, his life and disease history, and conclusion of his cause of death. The mummy of a 35-45 year old male, radiocarbon dated to the period 1730-1780 CE is most likely that of the local aristocratic parish vicar Franz Xaver Sidler von Rosenegg who had been temporarily delegated to St.
