Abstract
Tissue regeneration after damage is generally thought to involve the mobilization of adult stem cells that divide and differentiate into progressively specialized progeny. However, recent studies indicate that tissue regeneration can be accompanied by reversion to a fetal-like state. During this process, cells at the injury site reactivate programs that operate during fetal development but are typically absent in adult homeostasis. Here, we summarize our current understanding of the molecular signals and epigenetic mediators that orchestrate "fetal-like reversion" during intestinal regeneration. We also explore evidence for this phenomenon in other organs and species and highlight open questions that merit future examination.

Abstract
Stem cells play pivotal roles in maintaining intestinal homeostasis, orchestrating regeneration, and in key steps of colorectal cancer (CRC) initiation and progression. Intriguingly, adult stem cells are reduced during many of these processes. On the contrary, primitive fetal programs, commonly detected in development, emerge during tissue repair, CRC metastasis, and therapy resistance. Recent findings indicate a dynamic continuum between adult and fetal stem cell programs. We discuss critical mechanisms facilitating the plasticity between stem cell states and highlight the heterogeneity observed upon the appearance of fetal-like states. We focus on therapeutic opportunities that arise by targeting fetal-like CRC cells and how those concepts can be translated into the clinic.

Abstract
Aging can cause degenerative changes in multiple tissues and organs. Gastrointestinal diseases and dysfunctions are common in the elderly population. In this study, we investigated the effects of Astragalus membranaceus polysaccharide (APS) and Astragalus membranaceus ethanol extract (AEE) on age-related intestinal dysfunction and gut microbiota dysbiosis in naturally aging mice. The energy expenditure and physical activity of 23-month-old C57BL6/J mice were recorded using a metabolic cage system. Pathological changes in the intestine were evaluated using Alcian blue staining. The protein levels of leucine-rich repeats containing G protein-coupled receptor 5 (Lgr5) and Stat3 in the small intestine were determined using immunohistochemistry. The intestinal cell migration distance was assessed using bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) immunofluorescence staining. The gene transcription levels of intestinal stem cell (ISC) markers and ISC-related signaling pathways were detected using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Microbiota analysis based on 16S rDNA was performed to evaluate the composition of the gut microbiota. APS and AEE improved a series of aging phenotypes in female but not in male aging mice. APS and AEE ameliorate intestinal dysfunction and histopathological changes in aging mice. APS had a more significant anti-aging effect than AEE, particularly on intestinal dysfunction. APS promotes ISC regeneration by activating the IL-22 signaling pathway. Cohousing (CH) experiments further confirmed that APS induced the IL-22 signaling pathway by increasing the abundance of Lactobacillus, thereby promoting the regeneration of ISCs. Our results show that APS may serve as a promising agent for improving age-related intestinal dysfunction.

Abstract
The ribotoxic stress response (RSR) is a signaling pathway in which the p38- and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-activating mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K) ZAKα senses stalling and/or collision of ribosomes. Here, we show that reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating agents trigger ribosomal impairment and ZAKα activation. Conversely, zebrafish larvae deficient for ZAKα are protected from ROS-induced pathology. Livers of mice fed a ROS-generating diet exhibit ZAKα-activating changes in ribosomal elongation dynamics. Highlighting a role for the RSR in metabolic regulation, ZAK-knockout mice are protected from developing high-fat high-sugar (HFHS) diet-induced blood glucose intolerance and liver steatosis. Finally, ZAK ablation slows animals from developing the hallmarks of metabolic aging. Our work highlights ROS-induced ribosomal impairment as a physiological activation signal for ZAKα that underlies metabolic adaptation in obesity and aging.

Abstract
Targeting the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway is a promising therapeutic strategy for breast cancer treatment. However, low response rates and development of resistance to PI3K-AKT-mTOR inhibitors remain major clinical challenges. Here, we show that MYC activation drives resistance to mTOR inhibitors (mTORi) in breast cancer. Multiomic profiling of mouse invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) tumors revealed recurrent Myc amplifications in tumors that acquired resistance to the mTORi AZD8055. MYC activation was associated with biological processes linked to mTORi response and counteracted mTORi-induced translation inhibition by promoting translation of ribosomal proteins. In vitro and in vivo induction of MYC conferred mTORi resistance in mouse and human breast cancer models. Conversely, AZD8055-resistant ILC cells depended on MYC, as demonstrated by the synergistic effects of mTORi and MYCi combination treatment. Notably, MYC status was significantly associated with poor response to everolimus therapy in metastatic breast cancer patients. Thus, MYC is a clinically relevant driver of mTORi resistance that may stratify breast cancer patients for mTOR-targeted therapies.

Abstract
It is known that mRNAs and the machinery that translates them are not uniformly distributed throughout the cytoplasm. As a result, the expression of some genes is localized to particular parts of the cell and this makes it possible to carry out important activities, such as growth and signaling, in three-dimensional space. However, the functions of localized gene expression are not fully understood, and the underlying mechanisms that enable localized expression have not been determined in many cases. One consideration that could help in addressing these challenges is the role of quality control (QC) mechanisms that monitor translating ribosomes. On a global level, QC pathways are critical for detecting aberrant translation events, such as a ribosome that stalls while translating, and responding by activating stress pathways and resolving problematic ribosomes and mRNAs at the molecular level. However, it is unclear how these pathways, even when uniformly active throughout the cell, affect local translation. Importantly, some QC pathways have themselves been reported to be enriched in the proximity of particular organelles, but the extent of such localized activity remains largely unknown. Here, we describe the major QC pathways and review studies that have begun to explore their roles in localized translation. Given the limited data in this area, we also pose broad questions about the possibilities and limitations for how QC pathways could facilitate localized gene expression in the cell with the goal of offering ideas for future experimentation.

Abstract
Current understanding of the leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) in intestinal stem cells (ISCs) is well established, however, the implications of ISC heterogeneity and homeostasis are poorly understood. Prior studies have provided important evidence for the association between heterogeneity of ISC pools with pathogenesis and therapeutic response of malignant disease. Leveraging the advantages of organoids and single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), glandular development has been simulated and cell heterogeneity has been clarified. Based on this research, several potential ISCs were identified, such as LGR5 + p27 + quiescent ISCs, LGR5 + Mex3a + slowly proliferating stem cells, and CLU + reverse stem cells. We also illustrated major factors responsible for ISC homeostasis including metabolism-related (LKB1, TGR5, HMGCS2), inflammation-related (IFB-b, IFN2, TNF), and Wnt signaling-related (CREPT, Mex3a, MTG16) factors. ISCs play complex roles in intestinal tumorigenesis, chemoresistance and occasional relapse of colon cancer, which bear discussion. In this review, we focus on novel technical challenges in ISCs fate drawing upon recent research with the goals of clarifying our understanding of complex ISCs, elucidating the integrated intestinal crypt niche, and creating new opportunities for therapeutic development.

Abstract
Significance: Translation is an essential cellular process, and diverse signaling pathways have evolved to deal with problems arising during translation. Erroneous stalls and unresolved ribosome collisions are implicated in many pathologies, including neurodegeneration and metabolic dysregulation. Recent Advances: Many proteins involved in detection and clearance of stalled and collided ribosomes have been identified and studied in detail. Ribosome profiling techniques have revealed extensive and nonprogrammed ribosome stalling and leaky translation into the 3' untranslated regions of mRNAs. Impairment of protein synthesis has been linked to aging in yeast and mice. Critical Issues: Ribosomes act as sensors of cellular states, but the molecular mechanisms, as well as physiological relevance, remain understudied. Most of our current knowledge stems from work in yeast and simple multicellular organisms such as Caenorhabditis elegans, while we are only beginning to comprehend the role of ribosome surveillance in higher organisms. As an example, the ribotoxic stress response, a pathway responding to global translational stress, has been studied mostly in response to small translation inhibitors and ribotoxins, and has only recently been explored in physiological settings. This review focuses on ribosome-surveillance pathways and their importance for cell and tissue homeostasis upon naturally occurring insults such as oxidative stress, nutrient deprivation, and viral infections. Future Directions: A better insight into the physiological roles of ribosome-surveillance pathways and their crosstalk could lead to an improved understanding of human pathologies and aging.

Abstract
Aberrantly slow mRNA translation leads to ribosome stalling and subsequent collision with the trailing neighbor. Ribosome collisions have recently been shown to act as stress sensors in the cell, with the ability to trigger stress responses balancing survival and apoptotic cell-fate decisions depending on the stress level. However, we lack a molecular understanding of the reorganization of translation processes over time in mammalian cells exposed to an unresolved collision stress. Here we visualize the effect of a persistent collision stress on translation using in situ cryo electron tomography. We observe that low dose anisomycin collision stress leads to the stabilization of Z-site bound tRNA on elongating 80S ribosomes, as well as to the accumulation of an off-pathway 80S complex possibly resulting from collision splitting events. We visualize collided disomes in situ, occurring on compressed polysomes and revealing a stabilized geometry involving the Z-tRNA and L1 stalk on the stalled ribosome, and eEF2 bound to its collided rotated-2 neighbor. In addition, non-functional post-splitting 60S complexes accumulate in the stressed cells, indicating a limiting Ribosome associated Quality Control clearing rate. Finally, we observe the apparition of tRNA-bound aberrant 40S complexes shifting with the stress timepoint, suggesting a succession of different initiation inhibition mechanisms over time. Altogether, our work visualizes the changes of translation complexes under persistent collision stress in mammalian cells, indicating how perturbations in initiation, elongation and quality control processes contribute to an overall reduced protein synthesis.
