GIP is a multifaceted hormone whose role in metabolism is highly context-dependent. Pharmacological GIP receptor activation promotes weight loss and improves insulin sensitivity, contrasting sharply with the lipogenic and insulin-resistant effects of endogenous GIP. However, it remains unclear whether these effects simply amplify endogenous GIP's actions or represent distinct mechanisms.

This editorial comments on the manuscript by Chang , focusing on the still elusive interplay between epigenetic regulation and autophagy in gastrointestinal diseases, particularly cancer. Autophagy, essential for cellular homeostasis, exhibits diverse functions ranging from cell survival to death, and is particularly implicated in physiological gastrointestinal cell functions. However, its role in pathological backgrounds remains intricate and context-dependent.

The epigenetic layer of regulation has become increasingly relevant in the research focused on tumor suppressors. is a well-described zinc-finger transcription factor, mainly known for its role in the acquisition of cell pluripotency. Here we report and describe the most relevant epigenetic regulation mechanisms that affect expression in tumors.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex interconnected network of immune cells, fibroblasts, blood vessels, and extracellular matrix surrounding the tumor. Because of its immunosuppressive nature, the TME can pose a challenge for cancer immunotherapies targeting solid tumors. Chemokines have emerged as a crucial element in enhancing the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy, playing a direct role in immune cell signaling within the TME and facilitating immune cell migration towards cancer cells.
