CBP phosphorylation maintains intestinal homeostasis by supporting the stem cell niche through versican [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsCREB-binding protein (CBP) is a transcriptional coactivator, and we reported its phosphorylation regulates cell fate. Impaired CBP phosphorylation alters its binding preference for p53 in CBP AA mice, leading to distal colonic abnormalities.

Effect of modulating the extracellular matrix cross linkage by genipin on tumor cell resistance and survival in thioacetamide-induced hepatocellular carcinoma in rats [PDF]
PeerJBackground Previous studies on patients and rats with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have shown significant changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM). Versican, a component of the ECM, forms extensive multimolecular interactions with other ECM components,

Versican V1 Overexpression Induces a Myofibroblast-Like Phenotype in Cultured Fibroblasts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Versican, a chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan, is one of the key components of the provisional extracellular matrix expressed after injury. The current study evaluated the hypothesis that a versican-rich matrix alters the phenotype of cultured ...
