a Images showing H&E, BrdU incorporation and Cleaved caspase-3 IHC in Vil-CreERT2 (wild-type), Vil-CreERT2 Rac1fl/fl (Rac1fl/fl) mice day 3 post induction and Vil-CreERT2 Rac1fl/fl (Rac1fl/fl) mice 3 and 5 days post induction. Red arrow indicates disintegrating villus. Scale bar represents 100 μm in each case (See amplified images in Supplementary Fig. 1d–f). b Scanning EM on Vil-CreERT2 (Wild-type) or Vil-CreERT2 Rac1fl/fl (Rac1fl/fl) intestines 4 days post induction. Red arrows indicate rounded, blebbing cells. Scale bar represents 100 μm in the upper panels and 50 μm in the lower panels. c Vil-CreERT2 driving expression of LifeAct-GFP in wild-type and Rac1fl/fl intestines 4 days post induction. Scale bar represents 50 μm.
