The gut epithelium has a remarkable ability to recover from damage. We employed a combination of high throughput sequencing approaches, mouse genetics, and murine and human organoids, and identified a role for TGFB signaling during intestinal regeneration following injury. At 2 days following irradi...

Background and Purpose: Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet drug that is metabolized to its active form by the CYP2C19 enzyme. The CHANCE trial (Clopidogrel in High-Risk Patients With Acute Nondisabling Cerebrovascular Events) found a significant interaction between loss-of-function allele status for the...

Trip distribution is an invaluable portion of the transportation planning process; this distribution leads to the creation of origin–destination (O-D) matrices. Location-based social networking (LBSN) has increased in popularity and sophistication and has emerged as a new travel demand data source. ...

Purpose Observational studies link high whole grain intakes to reduced risk of many chronic diseases. This study quantified whole grain intakes in the Irish adult population and examined the major contributing sources. It also investigated potential dietary strategies to improve whole grain intakes....

The migratory behavior of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) post-smolts in coastal waters is poorly understood. In this collaborative study, 1914 smolts, from 25 rivers, in four countries were tagged with acoustic transmitters during a single seasonal migration. In total, 1105 post-smolts entered the ma...

SCOPE: This study examines to what extent plasma linoleic acid (LA) is modified by adiposity, and explores any association between plasma LA, demographics, dietary intakes, markers of metabolic health, and haplotypes of the fatty acid desaturase (FADS) 1/2 genes. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 820 ...

Stromal fibroblasts of the mesenchyme regulate critical signaling gradients along the crypt-villus axis in the intestine and provide a niche that supports intestinal stem cells. In this study, we reported that PDGFRA-expressing fibroblasts secrete ligands that promote a fetal-like state in the intes...
