The Hippo signaling pathway, also known as the Salvador−Warts−Hippo pathway, is a regulator of organ size. The pathway takes its name from the Drosophila protein kinase, Hippo (STK4/MST1 and STK3/MST2 in mammals), which, when inactivated, leads to … Continue reading →

Wheat amylase-trypsin inhibitors (ATIs) are nutritional activators of innate immunity, via activation of the toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) on myeloid cells. We aimed to characterize the biologic activity of ATIs in various foods and their effect on intes… Continue reading →

Although the gastrointestinal tract contains intrinsic neural plexuses that allow a significant degree of independent control over gastrointestinal functions, the central nervous system provides extrinsic neural inputs that modulate, regulate, and inte… Continue reading →

Many patients with a less than 1 cm segment of columnar metaplasia in 3 the distal esophagus, also called an irregular Z line, are encountered. These patients, often referred to as patients with Barrett’s esophagus (BE), are enrolled in surveillance … Continue reading →

It has been a challenge to identify liver tumor suppressors or oncogenes due to the genetic heterogeneity of these tumors. We performed a genome-wide screen to identify suppressors of liver tumor formation in mice, using CRISPR-mediated genome editing. Continue reading →
