PI3K/Akt signaling pathway mediates the effect of low-dose boron on barrier function, proliferation and apoptosis in rat intestinal epithelial cells
Abstract Boron is an essential trace element with roles in growth, development, and physiological functions; however, its mechanism of action is still unclear. In this study, the regulatory roles of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway on boron-induced changes in barrier function, proliferation, and apopt...
