Three-Dimensional-Mapping of Smooth Muscle Morphogenesis in the Vertebrate Gastrointestinal Tract

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.

Breaking the redundancy: TAZ outperforms YAP1 in GIST progression

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

Obesity induces phenotypic switching of gastric smooth muscle cells through the activation of the PPARD/PDK4/ANGPTL4 pathway

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.

Multi-protein silencing using WRAP-based nanoparticles: a proof of concept

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

High-Resolution Ultrasound and Speckle Tracking: a non-invasive approach to assess in vivo gastrointestinal motility during development

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.
