Article Synopsis
  • Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) plays a crucial role in intestinal health, influencing epithelial cell turnover and differentiation, especially under injury conditions like irradiation.
  • VIP promotes the differentiation of intestinal epithelial cells and boosts progenitor cell proliferation, primarily through the p38 MAPK signaling pathway.
  • In mouse models, VIP not only enhances recovery from radiation-induced damage but also demonstrates potential protective effects on intestinal cells during injury.
