This study compares drug metabolic capacity and cytotoxicity of Caco-2 cells, cryopreserved enterocytes, and stem cell-derived intestinal epithelial cells to identify a better model for drug discovery.

This study identifies and characterizes EnvV2-Fca, a placenta-specific protein from an endogenous retrovirus in cats, and explores its evolutionary and potential zoonotic implications.
