Two-Step Forward Genetic Screen in Mice Identifies the Ral Pathway as a Central Drug Target in Hepatocellular Carcinoma
A detailed understanding of the genetic background of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) will be crucial to developing new therapies aimed at selected targets.1 Given the sparse treatment options of advanced HCC, such progress is needed urgently for this h… Continue reading
Singling Out Intestinal Epithelial Stem Cells
The intestinal crypt is a dynamic group of heterogeneous epithelial cells, many of which are cycling and in motion. Genetic models have led to tremendous progress in identifying distinct crypt cell types, but many questions remain unresolved, including… Continue reading

Gut Microbiota Developments With Emphasis on Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Report From the Gut Microbiota for Health World Summit 2016
In the past decades the view of the gut microbiota has transformed from fighting the bad bugs with antibiotics to protecting the good bugs that function as a defense barrier and contribute to overall health. The gut microbiota is now commonly recognize… Continue reading
