Alternative pathway NF-κB signalling regulates susceptibility towards developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colitis-associated cancer and sepsis-associated intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis and shedding. However, the cell populations respon... Read More about NF-κB2 signalling in enteroids modulates enterocyte responses to secreted factors from bone marrow-derived dendritic cells.

Potential role of fecal volatile organic compounds as biomarkers of chemically induced intestinal inflammation in mice (2019)
Journal Article
Reade, S., Williams, J. M., Aggio, R., Duckworth, C. A., Mahalhal, A., Hough, R., Pritchard, D. M., & Probert, C. S. (2019). Potential role of fecal volatile organic compounds as biomarkers of chemically induced intestinal inflammation in mice. FASEB Journal, 33(3), 3129-3136. https://doi.org/10.1096/fj.201800076RR

Metabolomics studies have the potential to discover biomarkers. Fecal volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been found to differ in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome. Murine models of colitis offer an alternative...

Helicobacter pylori-induced gastric pathology: insights from in vivo and ex vivo models (2017)
Journal Article
Burkitt, M. D., Duckworth, C. A., Williams, J. M., & Pritchard, D. M. (2017). Helicobacter pylori-induced gastric pathology: insights from in vivo and ex vivo models. Disease Models and Mechanisms, 10(2), 89-104. https://doi.org/10.1242/dmm.027649

Gastric colonization with Helicobacter pylori induces diverse human pathological conditions, including superficial gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, and gastric adenocarcinoma and its precursors. The... Read More about Helicobacter pylori-induced gastric pathology: insights from in vivo and ex vivo models.

Intestinal Preparation Techniques for Histological Analysis in the Mouse (2016)
Journal Article
Williams, J. M., Duckworth, C. A., Vowell, K., Burkitt, M. D., & Pritchard, D. M. (2016). Intestinal Preparation Techniques for Histological Analysis in the Mouse. https://doi.org/10.1002/cpmo.2

The murine intestinal tract represents a difficult organ system to study due to its long convoluted tubular structure, narrow diameter, and delicate mucosa which undergoes rapid changes after sampling prior to fixation. These features do not make for... Read More about Intestinal Preparation Techniques for Histological Analysis in the Mouse.

bak deletion stimulates gastric epithelial proliferation and enhances Helicobacter felis-induced gastric atrophy and dysplasia in mice (2015)
Journal Article
Duckworth, C. A., Abuderman, A. A., Burkitt, M. D., Williams, J. M., O'Reilly, L. A., & Pritchard, D. M. (2015). bak deletion stimulates gastric epithelial proliferation and enhances Helicobacter felis-induced gastric atrophy and dysplasia in mice. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpgi.00404.2014

Helicobacter infection causes a chronic superficial gastritis that in some cases progresses via atrophic gastritis to adenocarcinoma. Proapoptotic bak has been shown to regulate radiation-induced apoptosis in the stomach and colon and also susceptibi...

Epithelial cell shedding and barrier function: a matter of life and death at the small intestinal villus tip (2015)
Journal Article

The intestinal epithelium is a critical component of the gut barrier. Composed of a single layer of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) held together by tight junctions, this delicate structure prevents the transfer of harmful microorganisms, antigens...
