This study maps smooth muscle development in the vertebrate gastrointestinal tract using 3D imaging and heatmap analysis, revealing expression patterns of key markers in both circular and longitudinal muscle layers.

This study shows that TAZ, not YAP1, is more critical for GIST progression and that targeting TAZ could be a better therapeutic strategy.

This study identifies the PPARD/PDK4/ANGPTL4 pathway as a mechanism by which obesity induces phenotypic switching of gastric smooth muscle cells, leading to dysmotility.

This study demonstrates that WRAP5 nanoparticles delivering multiple siRNAs can silence multiple target proteins and reduce proliferation in glioblastoma and GIST cells.

This study uses high-resolution ultrasound and speckle tracking to visualize and quantify fetal gastrointestinal motility in chick embryos, showing synchronized contractions develop late in fetal life.
