Specific gut microbiota taxa as a key source of variability in colitis model
Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Published online: 14 June 2022; doi:10.1038/s41575-022-00644-4Owing to its simplicity, dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis is one of the most widely used mouse models of colitis. However, the severity of inflammation varies from one experiment to another. In a new study, Forster and colleagues have provided new insights into the DSS model by revealing specific microbial taxa that underlie disease variability.

Circulating biomarkers in the diagnosis and management of hepatocellular carcinoma
Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Published online: 08 June 2022; doi:10.1038/s41575-022-00620-ySurveillance of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one of the most lethal solid cancers globally, is insensitive for the detection of early-stage tumours. In this Review, the authors discuss HCC biomarkers that can improve early diagnosis, therapy monitoring and prediction of therapy response. (Source: Nature Reviews Gastroenterology and Hepatology)
