Focal adhesion kinase: A promising regulator of colitis-associated healing

Figure 1 Expression of activated focal adhesion kinase is upregulated in inflammatory bowel disease patients. Biopsy from inflammatory bowel disease patient’s colon were subjected to immunohistochemistry using an antibody against phosphorylated focal adhesion kinase Tyr397 and images were captured using Nikon T-20 Light microscope. Representative images showing increased focal adhesion kinase phosphorylated at tyrosine 397 in inflammatory bowel disease patients vs adjacent normal (n = 4 individual slides/group). IBD: Inflammatory bowel disease.
