Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2522 more
- 21 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2983 more
- 08 Feb 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a set of guidelines for investigators to select and interpret methods to examine autophagy and related processes, and for reviewers to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of reports that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel role of the vitamin D receptor in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier

Juan Kong, +7 more
- 01 Jan 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that VDR plays a critical role in mucosal barrier homeostasis by preserving the integrity of junction complexes and the healing capacity of the colonic epithelium, leading to increased susceptibility to mucosal damage and increased risk of IBD.
Journal ArticleDOI

16S rRNA gene-based analysis of fecal microbiota from preterm infants with and without necrotizing enterocolitis

Yunwei Wang, +8 more
- 16 Apr 2009 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest that NEC is associated with severe lack of microbiota diversity that may accentuate the impact of single dominant microorganisms favored by empiric and widespread use of antibiotics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association analysis identifies variation in vitamin D receptor and other host factors influencing the gut microbiota

Jun Wang, +42 more
- 01 Nov 2016 - 
TL;DR: Genome-wide significant associations for overall microbial variation and individual taxa at multiple genetic loci identify other important points of host–microbe intersection, notably several disease susceptibility genes and sterol metabolism pathway components.
