Journal ArticleDOI

Frizzled proteins are colonic epithelial receptors for C. difficile toxin B

TL;DR: FZDs are established as physiologically relevant receptors for TcdB in the colonic epithelium by carrying out CRISPR–Cas9-mediated genome-wide screens and identifying the members of the Wnt receptor frizzled family (FzDs) as TCDB receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Colon-on-a-Chip Enables Continuous In Vitro Analysis of Colon Mucus Layer Accumulation and Physiology.

TL;DR: This study shows the production of colonic mucus with a physiologically relevant bilayer structure in vitro, which can be analyzed in real time noninvasively and may offer a new preclinical tool to analyze the role of mucus in human intestinal homeostasis as well as diseases.
