This study identifies that a minimal glycocalyx on host cell membranes optimally facilitates Salmonella Typhimurium targeting, with glycoproteins and cholesterol playing key roles.

This study shows that maturation of human intestinal epithelial cells reduces susceptibility to Salmonella invasion by altering actin regulation, mucin expression, and glycocalyx composition.

This study establishes and characterizes human jejunal enteroids for studying epithelial drug transport and metabolism, showing they recapitulate in vivo features and accurately predict drug pharmacokinetics.
