Dedifferentiation-Driven Oncogenic Stemness Promotes Tumor-Sustaining Adaptability in the Intestinal Epithelium

Kylee Zgeib, Thompson Hui, Simon Garcia, Zahra Hashemi, Shima Nejati, Amartya Singh, Atharva Inamdar, Crystal Lim, Dahlia Matouba, Christina Li, Binfeng Lu, Ansu O. Perekatt

This study shows dedifferentiation-derived oncogenic stem cells sustain intestinal tumorigenesis more effectively than mutant stem cells, with aberrant Notch signaling and metabolic plasticity contributing to tumor growth.

Smad4 Loss in the Mouse Intestinal Epithelium Alleviates the Pathological Fibrotic Response to Injury in the Colon

Zahra Hashemi, Thompson Hui, Alex Wu, Dahlia Matouba, Steven Zukowski, Shima Nejati, Crystal Lim, Julianna Bruzzese, Kyle Seabold, Connor Mills, Cindy Lin, Kylee Wrath, Haoyu Wang, Hongjun Wang, Michael P. Verzi, Ansu Perekatt

This study shows that Smad4 loss in the mouse intestinal epithelium reduces pathological fibrosis and improves mucosal repair after DSS-induced injury.
