This study shows PIEZO1 supports apoptotic cell extrusion by maintaining mechanical homeostasis rather than through calcium signaling.

This study shows that partial reduction of BECLIN1 in intestinal epithelial cells leads to intestinal defects and increased susceptibility to inflammation, suggesting its importance in maintaining gut health.

This study investigates the role of BECLIN-1 in maintaining gastrointestinal epithelial integrity by regulating endocytic trafficking, F-actin organization, and lysosomal function using organoids from BECLIN-1 knockout mice.

This study shows that pre-existing mechanical tension at adherens junctions impairs apoptotic extrusion in epithelia, and this effect can be reversed by reducing tension.
