Deciphering the Complex Signaling Systems That Regulate Intestinal Epithelial Cell Death Processes and Shedding
Intestinal epithelial cells play a fundamental role in maintaining homeostasis. Shedding of intestinal cells in a controlled manner is critical to maintenance of barrier function. Barrier function is maintained during this shedding process by a redistribution of tight junctional proteins to facilita...
