Interplay of GTPases and Cytoskeleton in Cellular Barrier Defects during Gut Inflammation.

abstract：:Protein citrullination is a post-translational modification catalyzed by the protein arginine deiminases (PADs). This modification plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of numerous autoimmune disorders including RA. Recently, there has been a growing interest in investigating physiological regulators of PAD acti...
