An unpredictable cause of gastrointestinal bleeding
Abnormal TP53 predicts risk of progression in patients with Barrett’s esophagus regardless of a diagnosis of dysplasia.
Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is the precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma. A major challenge is identifying the small group with BE who will progress to advanced disease from the many who will not. Assessment of p53 status has promise as a predictive biom… Continue reading
Cellular Plasticity, Reprogramming, and Regeneration: Metaplasia in the Stomach and Beyond
The mucosa of the body of the stomach (i.e., the gastric corpus) employs two overlapping, depth-dependent mechanisms to respond to injury. Superficial injury heals via surface cells with histopathological changes like foveolar hyperplasia. Deeper, usua… Continue reading

Lower Serologic Response to COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Treated with Anti-TNFα
Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), specifically those treated with anti-tumor-necrosis-factor (TNF)α biologics are at high risk for vaccine preventable infections. Their ability to mount adequate vaccine responses is unclear. Continue reading
Gastroparesis
Gastroparesis is characterized by symptoms suggestive of and objective evidence of delayed gastric emptying in the absence of mechanical obstruction. This review addresses the normal emptying of solids and liquids from the stomach and details the myoge… Continue reading

Single-cell transcriptomics reveals a conserved metaplasia program in pancreatic injury
Acinar to ductal metaplasia (ADM) occurs in the pancreas in response to tissue injury and is a potential precursor for adenocarcinoma. The goal of these studies was to define the populations arising from ADM, the associated transcriptional changes, and… Continue reading
