Dysregulation at the intestinal epithelial barrier is a driver of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the molecular mechanisms of barrier failure are not well understood. Here, we demonstrate dysregulated mitochondrial fusion in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) of patients with IBD and show that impaired fusion is sufficient to drive chronic intestinal inflammation.

- Understanding how both plants and soil organisms respond to global changes is vital for ecosystem health and biodiversity.
- The study analyzes a large dataset to show that global change factors boost plant biomass but reduce plant species diversity, while the effects on soil organisms vary and are unpredictable.
- The findings emphasize the need for integrated research that considers both aboveground and belowground interactions to better anticipate the impacts of global environmental changes.
Radical treatment for prostate cancer is associated with significant morbidity. Percutaneous image-guided irreversible electroporation is a non-thermal ablative technique that has emerged as a valuable option. This study describes the case of a patient with prostate cancer who was successfully treated using irreversible electroporation.
