TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: The size of the tumor and rate of en bloc resection and curative resection were higher, and the rate of recurrence was lower in the ESD group versus the EMR group, suggesting that the indications for ESD should be rigorously determined in order to avoid such problems.

TL;DR: The quorum-sensing pentapeptide, competence and sporulation factor, of the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis activates key survival pathways, including p38 MAP kinase and protein kinase B (Akt), in intestinal epithelial cells, and serves as an example of a host-bacterial interaction that allows the host to monitor and respond to changes in the behavior or composition of colonic flora.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that probiotic-derived ferrichrome exerts a tumour-suppressive effect via the JNK signalling pathway.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that poly P is the molecule responsible for maintaining intestinal barrier actions which are mediated through the intestinal integrin β1-p38 MAPK.
