Gastric cancer develops in the context of parietal cell loss, spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM), and intestinal metaplasia (IM). We investigated whether expression of the activated form of Ras in gastric chief cells of mice leads to … Continue reading →

Noninvasive methods have been evaluated for the assessment of liver fibrosis and steatosis in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We compared the ability of clinical scoring systems, transient elastography (TE) with the M probe, and… Continue reading →

Human intestinal crypt-derived enteroids are a model of intestinal ion transport that require validation by comparison with cell culture and animal models. We used human small intestinal enteroids to study neutral Na+ absorption and stimulated fluid an… Continue reading →

Sessile serrated adenomas/polyps (SSA/Ps) and traditional serrated adenomas (TSAs) are now distinguished from hyperplastic polyps and recognized as precursors to colorectal cancer (CRC). We studied CRC risks associated with serrated polyps. Continue reading →

The circadian clock is an endogenous biological timekeeping system that synchronizes physiology and behavior to day-night cycles. A wide variety of processes throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract and notably the liver appear to be under circadia… Continue reading →

Enterovesical fistula is a relatively rare condition complicating Crohn’s disease (CD) that often requires surgical treatment.1 Ascertaining the presence of fistula and visualization of its anatomy are important for undertaking a decision for surgery… Continue reading →
