Prostaglandin E Promotes Colorectal Cancer Stem Cell Expansion and Metastasis in Mice

Inflammation may contribute to formation, maintenance, and expansion of cancer stem cells (CSCs), which have the capacity for self-renewal, differentiation, and resistance to cytotoxic agents. We investigated the effects of the inflammatory mediator pr… Continue reading

Genetics of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

In this Review, we provide an update on genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In addition, we summarize progress in defining the functional consequences of associated alleles for coding and non-coding genetic varia… Continue reading
