Journal ArticleDOI

Recipient NK cell inactivation and intestinal barrier loss are required for MHC-matched graft-versus-host disease

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that pretransplant conditioning plays a dual role in promoting minor mismatch GVHD by both depleting recipient NK cells and inducing intestinal barrier loss, demonstrating fundamental pathogenic distinctions between these forms of disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Graft-versus-host disease propagation depends on increased intestinal epithelial tight junction permeability

TL;DR: Inhibition of MLCK210-dependent barrier regulation may be an effective approach to limiting GVHD progression, as indicated by reduced histopathology, fewer CD8+ effector T cells in the gut, and improved overall survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Yes-associated protein impacts adherens junction assembly through regulating actin cytoskeleton organization.

TL;DR: Using primary hepatocytes from Yap transgenic livers and Yap knockout livers, it is found that YAP antagonizes E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell junction assembly by regulating the cellular actin architecture, including its mechanical properties (elasticity and cortical tension).
