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

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
