Two rare observations in which villous tumors affected the mucous membranes of the rectum and transverse colon are described. In one case the lesions extended for 60 cm, in the other the neoplasm occupied the entire inner surface of the rectum and colon as well as the adjacent area of the ileum, whereas in the area of the liver and spleen bends there were areas of adenocarcinoma. Both observations were characterized by marked inflammatory infiltration in some parts of the villous tumor.

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are used to treat various malignancies. They block the inhibitory signals of tumor cells and enhance the inflammatory cascade, which results in tumor killing. However, this can lead to unchecked inflammation throughout the body, leading to various adverse effects.

RANK drives structured intestinal epithelial expansion during pregnancy.

Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (IMBA), Vienna BioCenter (VBC), Vienna, Austria.

Article Synopsis
  • - During pregnancy and lactation, mammals experience significant changes in their intestinal epithelium, leading to an increase in intestinal surface area through the expansion of villi.
  • - The RANK-RANKL molecular pathway is crucial for this process, protecting gut cells from death and promoting intestinal stem cell activity, which results in villous elongation.
  • - Mice lacking RANK in their intestinal epithelium have offspring that are heavier and more prone to glucose intolerance, highlighting the importance of RANK-RANKL in both immediate and long-term health outcomes for offspring.

Background: Pyloric gland adenoma (PGA) is a distinct subtype of duodenal adenoma. PGA has been increasingly recognized as a histologically and molecularly distinct entity; however, its endoscopic features have not been precisely described. This study aims to investigate the endoscopic characteristics of duodenal PGA, including the association of their putative precursors, Brunner's gland hyperplasia (BGH), and gastric epithelial heterotopia/metaplasia (GEM/H).

Successful pregnancy relies directly on the placenta's complex, dynamic, gene-regulatory networks. Disruption of this vast collection of intercellular and intracellular programs leads to pregnancy complications and developmental defects. In the present study, we generated a comprehensive, spatially resolved, multimodal cell census elucidating the molecular architecture of the first trimester human placenta.
