s: The mammalian intestinal epithelium self renews rapidly and homeostasis is preserved via tightly controlled mechanisms. Long noncoding RNAs transcribed from ultraconserved regions (T-UCRs) control different cell functions, but little is known about … Continue reading →

Narrow-band imaging (NBI) is an image-enhanced form of endoscopy used to observed microstructures and capillaries of the mucosal epithelium that allows for real-time prediction of histologic features of colorectal polyps. However, NBI expertise is requ… Continue reading →

Although researchers have identified genetic alterations that contribute to development of esophageal adenocarcinoma, we know little about features of patients or environmental factors that mediate progression of chronic acid biliary reflux to Barrett?… Continue reading →

The pathogenesis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is complex and involves changes in reflux exposure, epithelial resistance, and visceral sensitivity. The gastric refluxate is a noxious material that injures the esophagus and elicits symptoms…. Continue reading →

Esophageal cancer is characterized by the early and frequent metastasis. Surgery is the primary treatment for early-stage disease, whereas patients with patients with locally advanced disease receive peri-operative chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy. Sq… Continue reading →
