Hexokinase 2 expression in apical enterocytes correlates with inflammation severity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease

The paper examines the relationship between HK2 expression and inflammation severity in IBD patients using bulk transcriptome data and confirms findings at the cellular and protein levels.

Evolution of E. coli in a mouse model of inflammatory bowel disease leads to a disease-specific bacterial genotype and trade-offs with clinical relevance

This study shows that E. coli evolves specific genetic and phenotypic traits in an inflamed gut, leading to antibiotic collateral sensitivity and potential therapeutic implications.

Bacterial colonizers of Nematostella vectensis are initially selected by the host before interactions between bacteria determine further succession

This study shows that host selection drives initial bacterial colonization in Nematostella vectensis, while subsequent succession depends on bacterial metabolic interactions.
