Estrogen Impacts Nod2-Dependent Regulation of Intestinal Homeostasis

This study identifies a NOD2-estrogen regulatory axis in zebrafish that impacts intestinal homeostasis, showing estrogen can replicate NOD2-deficiency effects and be reversed by tamoxifen.

RANK-DEPENDENT CONTROL OF TUFT AND BEST4 CELL DEVELOPMENT IN THE INTESTINE

This study identifies RANK's role in shaping intestinal epithelial cell specialization in zebrafish, showing its impact on tuft and BEST4 cell development and immune responses.

Stem cell-specific NF-kB is required for stem cell survival and epithelial regeneration upon intestinal damage.

This study shows that stem cell-specific NF-kB is essential for intestinal epithelial regeneration after damage in Drosophila.

The axillary lymphoid organ - an external, experimentally accessible immune organ in the zebrafish

The paper identifies a new external immune organ in zebrafish, the axillary lymphoid organ, suitable for live imaging of immune cell dynamics.

The Emergence of Circadian Timekeeping in the Intestine

This study tracks the emergence of the circadian clock in Drosophila intestine cells, showing it begins after development and is influenced by hormone signaling and stem cell differentiation.

A Cell Atlas of Microbe-Responsive Processes in the Zebrafish Intestine

The paper creates a zebrafish intestinal cell atlas showing how the microbiome affects different cell types and processes.
