FAK regulates intestinal epithelial cell survival and proliferation during mucosal wound healing.

FAK regulates intestinal epithelial cell survival and proliferation during mucosal wound healing.

Following damage to the intestinal epithelium, restoration of epithelial barrier integrity is triggered by a robust proliferative response. In other tissues, focal adhesion kinase (FAK) regulates many of the cellular processes that are critical for epithelial homeostasis and restitution, including c...
