This study shows that Cdc42 regulates fibrogenic activation of human intestinal myofibroblasts by enhancing ECM production and contractile actomyosin cytoskeleton through AKT-mTOR signaling.

This study shows that NM IIA limits A/E bacterial colonization by inhibiting actin pedestal formation, while NM IIC does not play a similar role.

This study investigates the role of SEPT9 in intestinal epithelial barrier integrity and inflammation, finding that its loss disrupts tight junctions and increases susceptibility to colitis.
