& Metaplasia

When Hedgehog talks, Sox9 listens. Our new Nature Communications paper reveals how TGF-β, BMP, and Cox-2 tune esophageal progenitor plasticity — and how blocking Cox-2 can dial it back.
The perception of taste allows one to assess whether ingested substances are nutritious or potentially hazardous, but this sense is frequently impaired in case of pathology or following chemotherapy. We recently identified taste buds clustered in the mouse esophagus and compared mechanisms regulating development of taste receptor cells in the tongue and esophagus at single cell resolution.
