Interactions between laminin and epithelial cells in intestinal health and disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Laminins are a multigene family of extracellular matrix molecules. Quantitatively, they are one of the most abundant glycoproteins present in basement membranes. Functionally, they can modulate several key biological activities, including cell adhesion and migration, gene expression and cell survival. Variability in the spatial and temporal expression of laminins, as well as of their specific receptors of the integrin family, in various tissues and organs, suggests that different laminins perform distinct functions. This article focuses on the human intestinal epithelium as a paradigm to illustrate the potential relationship between laminin-cell interactions and the cell state. This rapidly renewing epithelium consists of spatially separated proliferative and differentiated cell populations located in the crypts and on the villi, respectively. Differential distributions of the various laminins and laminin-binding integrins have been observed along the crypt-villus axis in both the developing and the adult intestine, and important alterations in the pattern of laminin expression have been reported in various intestinal pathologies, such as tufting enteropathy, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and colorectal cancer. More-direct approaches, including experimentation with in vitro and in vivo models, have provided evidence in support of a role for laminins in intestinal cell functions. Although further work is still needed, laminins emerge more and more as key regulators of specific cell functions important in both intestinal health and intestinal disease.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
