Intestinal homeostasis is maintained through the combined functions of epithelial and immune cells that collaborate to preserve the integrity of the intestinal barrier. However, the mechanisms by which immune cell populations regulate intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) homeostasis remain unclear. Here, we use a multi-omics approach to study the immune-epithelial crosstalk and identify CD1d-restricted natural killer T (NKT) cells as key regulators of IEC biology.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the effectiveness of uterine artery embolization (UAE) with gelatin foam to manage delayed bleeding caused by vascularized retained products of conception (vRPOC) after abortion or miscarriage during a 5-year period at 11 French hospitals.
  • Out of 224 patients evaluated, 94.2% experienced clinical success, although 7.3% showed persistent vRPOC at imaging follow-ups, with some minor and major complications reported.
  • The results suggest that while UAE with gelatin foam is generally safe and effective, certain factors like having a hypertrophic uterine artery and using gelatin foam torpedoes may increase the risk of persistent bleeding issues.

Hypercontractile phenotype (HP) of the left ventricle (LV) is an actionable therapeutic target in patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) or heart failure (HF), but its clinical recognition remains difficult. To assess the clinical variables associated with the HP. In a prospective, observational, multicenter study, we recruited 5122 patients (age 65 ± 11 years, 2974 males, 58%) with CCS and/or HF with preserved ejection fraction (EF).
