Researchers at Lund University have shown that a group of proteins are crucial for smooth muscle function in the gastrointestinal tract. A lack of these proteins leads to a lethal condition called intestinal pseudo obstruction in mice. The findings play a major role in our knowledge of organs that are dependent on normal smooth muscle function such as blood vessels, airways and bladder. The study
