Ulcerative colitis mucosal transcriptomes reveal mitochondriopathy and personalized mechanisms underlying disease severity and treatment response

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used RNAseq to define pre-treatment rectal gene expression, and fecal microbiota profiles, in 206 pediatric ulcerative colitis patients receiving standardised therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amniotic fluid inhibits Toll-like receptor 4 signaling in the fetal and neonatal intestinal epithelium

TL;DR: It is shown that microinjection of amniotic fluid into the fetal gastrointestinal tract reduced LPS-mediated signaling within the fetal intestinal mucosa, which may explain the unique susceptibility of premature infants to the development of NEC and offer therapeutic approaches to this devastating disease.

Ulcerative colitis mucosal transcriptomes reveal mitochondriopathy and personalized mechanisms underlying disease severity and treatment response

TL;DR: Examination of rectal gene expression signatures and faecal microbiomes of children and adults with ulcerative colitis provides insights into UC pathogenesis, and may prioritise future therapies for nonresponders to current approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optic pathway glioma as part of a constitutional mismatch-repair deficiency syndrome in a patient meeting the criteria for neurofibromatosis type 1.

TL;DR: The case of a 3‐year‐old male with an extensive OPG who met the diagnostic criteria for NF‐1 was reported, and he was subsequently found to have multiple colonic polyps and bi‐allelic loss of PMS2.
