Journal Article
Duckworth, C. A., Abuderman, A. A., Burkitt, M. D., Williams, J. M., O'Reilly, L. A., & Pritchard, D. M. (2015). bak deletion stimulates gastric epithelial proliferation and enhances Helicobacter felis-induced gastric atrophy and dysplasia in mice. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpgi.00404.2014

Helicobacter infection causes a chronic superficial gastritis that in some cases progresses via atrophic gastritis to adenocarcinoma. Proapoptotic bak has been shown to regulate radiation-induced apoptosis in the stomach and colon and also susceptibi...

Epithelial cell shedding and barrier function: a matter of life and death at the small intestinal villus tip (2015)
Journal Article
Williams, J. M., Duckworth, C. A., Burkitt, M. D., Watson, A. J., Campbell, B. J., & Pritchard, D. M. (2015). Epithelial cell shedding and barrier function: a matter of life and death at the small intestinal villus tip. Veterinary Pathology, 523(3), 445-55. https://doi.org/10.1177/0300985814559404

The intestinal epithelium is a critical component of the gut barrier. Composed of a single layer of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) held together by tight junctions, this delicate structure prevents the transfer of harmful microorganisms, antigens...
