Aging reduces the ability of the intestinal lining to regenerate, but the exact reasons are not fully understood. This study used proteomic and metabolomic profiling to examine how intestinal tissues regenerate after damage from 5-fluorouracil, a common cancer drug. In older mice, the regeneration process showed increased stress on protein homeostasis and higher polyamine levels, unique to older tissues. This delayed regeneration is linked to lower protein synthesis and more ubiquitinated proteins in aged cells. However, dietary restriction followed by re-feeding before injury can activate polyamine pathways, boost protein production, and improve regeneration in older intestines. These findings point to new potential targets for therapies to address age-related declines in tissue repair.

Patients with colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) exhibit significant heterogeneity in overall survival. The current tumor-node-metastasis staging system is insufficient to provide a precise prediction for prognosis.
We integrated different datasets and applied bioinformatic and statistical methods to construct a robust immune-associated risk model for COAD prognosis. The immune-associated risk model discriminated high-risk patients in our investigated and validated cohorts. Survival analyses demonstrated that our gene signature served as an independent risk factor for overall survival and the nomogram exhibited high accuracy. Functional analysis interpreted the correlation between our risk model and its role in prognosis by classifying groups with different immune activities. Remarkably, patients in the low-risk group showed higher immune activity, while those in the high-risk group displayed a lower immune activity.
Our study provides a novel tool that may contribute to the optimization of risk stratification for survival and personalized management of COAD.

Dormancy, a reversible quiescent cellular state characterized by greatly reduced metabolic activity, protects from genetic damage, prolongs survival and is crucial for tissue homeostasis and cellular response to injury or transplantation. Dormant cells have been characterized in many tissues, but their identification, isolation and characterization irrespective of tissue of origin remains elusive. Here, we develop a live cell ratiometric fluorescent Optical Stem Cell Activity Reporter (OSCAR) based on the observation that phosphorylation of RNA Polymerase II (RNApII), a hallmark of active mRNA transcription elongation, is largely absent in dormant stem cells from multiple lineages. 
Using the small intestinal crypt as a model, OSCAR reveals in real time the dynamics of dormancy induction and cellular differentiation in vitro, and allows the identification and isolation of several populations of transcriptionally diverse OSCARhigh and OSCARlow intestinal epithelial cell states in vivo. In particular, this reporter is able to identify a dormant OSCARhigh cell population in the small intestine. OSCAR therefore provides a tool for a better understanding of dormant stem cell biology.

Organoids culture provides unique opportunities to study human diseases and to complement animal models. Several organs and tissues can be in vitro cultured in 3D structures resembling in vivo tissue organization. Organoids culture contains most of the cell types of the original tissue and are maintained by growth factors mimicking the in vivo state. However, the system is yet not fully understood, and specific in vivo features especially those driven by cell-extrinsic factors may be lost in culture. 
Here we show a comprehensive transcriptome-wide characterization of mouse gut organoids derived from different intestinal compartments and from mice of different gender and age. RNA-seq analysis showed that the in vitro culture strongly influences the global transcriptome of the intestinal epithelial cells (~ 60% of the total variance). Several compartment-, age- and gender-related transcriptome features are lost after culturing indicating that they are driven by niche or systemic factors. However, certain intrinsic transcriptional programs, for example, some compartment-related features and a minority of gender- and aging- related features are maintained in vitro which suggested possibilities for these features to be studied in this system. 
Moreover, our study provides knowledge about the cell-extrinsic or cell-intrinsic origin of intestinal epithelial transcriptional programs. We anticipated that our characterization of this in vitro system is an important reference for scientists and clinicians using intestinal organoids as a research model.

Adult tissue stem cells have a pivotal role in tissue maintenance and regeneration throughout the lifespan of multicellular organisms. Loss of tissue homeostasis during post-reproductive lifespan is caused, at least in part, by a decline in stem cell function and is associated with an increased incidence of diseases. Hallmarks of ageing include the accumulation of molecular damage, failure of quality control systems, metabolic changes and alterations in epigenome stability. 
In this Review, we discuss recent evidence in support of a novel concept whereby cell-intrinsic damage that accumulates during ageing and cell-extrinsic changes in ageing stem cell niches and the blood result in modifications of the stem cell epigenome. These cumulative epigenetic alterations in stem cells might be the cause of the deregulation of developmental pathways seen during ageing. In turn, they could confer a selective advantage to mutant and epigenetically drifted stem cells with altered self-renewal and functions, which contribute to the development of ageing-associated organ dysfunction and disease.
