This session will feature speakers who will examine cellular plasticity in the gastrointestinal tract and its role in regeneration. The session will focus on epithelial cell responses to pathogens…

The speakers in this session will provide insights into diverse molecular mechanisms of metaplasia, dysplasia and neoplasia across the esophagus, stomach, and colon…

Countries with a high prevalence of gastric cancers have well developed programs aimed at identifying and monitoring gastric cancer precursors. However, there is limited information about the performance of such programs in the United States…

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Ménétrier’s disease (MD) is a rare acquired protein-losing hypertrophic gastropathy characterized by giant gastric rugal folds, decreased acid secretion, increased gastric mucus production, and hypoalbuminemia due to protein loss in the gastric mucosa…

BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer arises within a sequential carcinogenic process from metaplasia to dysplasia and adenocarcinoma. It is known that Kras activation in chief cells recapitulates gastric carcinogenesis observed in patients with gastric cancer…

Isthmic progenitor cells, tissue-specific stem cells in the stomach corpus, maintain mucosal homeostasis by balancing between proliferation and differentiation to gastric epithelial cell lineages. The progenitor cells rapidly adopt an active state in response to mucosal injury…

Background: Ras pathway activation in gastric chief cells induces a sequential cascade from normal to metaplasia and dysplasia, a key stage of developing gastric cancer…

Metaplasias can arise in response to mucosal injury or oncogenic gene alterations and potential precursors of GI cancer. The metaplasia is becoming a hot topic in both basic and clinical science fields…
