Correction of Hirschsprung-associated Mutations in Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells, via CRISPR/Cas9, Restores Neural Crest Cell Function

Posted on March 22, 2017 by Gastroenterology Journal

Hirschsprung disease is caused by failure of enteric neural crest cells (ENCCs) to fully colonize the bowel, leading to bowel obstruction and megacolon. Heterozygous mutations in the coding region of the RET gene cause a severe form of Hirschsprung dis… Continue reading →

Activation of Epithelial STAT1 by Interleukin 28 Controls Mucosal Healing in Mice with Colitis and is Increased in Mucosa of Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Posted on March 22, 2017 by Gastroenterology Journal

We investigated the roles of interleukin 28A (also called IL28A or interferon lambda 2) in intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) activation, studying its effects in mouse models of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and intestinal mucosal healing. Continue reading →
