Repulsive Guidance Molecule b Deficiency Induces Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis and Increases the Susceptibility to Intestinal Inflammation in Mice

Imbalance of gut microbiota can induce or aggravate intestinal inflammation.To enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of gut microbiota and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), we studied the role of repulsive guidance molecule b (RGMb) in gut microbiota and colitis in mice.We generated Rgmb knockout mice and inducible Rgmb knockout mic

Sorting Tubules Regulate Blood-Brain Barrier Transcytosis

Transcytosis across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) regulates key processes of the brain, but the intracellular sorting mechanisms that determine successful receptor-mediated transcytosis in brain endothelial cells (BECs) remain unidentified.Here, we used Transferrin receptor-based Brain Shuttle constructs to investigate intracellular transport in BE
