The studies demonstrated how gut macrophages respond to prior insult by shielding enteric neurons, preventing them from dying off when future pathogens strike. These findings may ultimately have ...

We have previously shown that following transplantation into the colon of recipient mice, enteric neural progenitors proliferate, migrate and differentiate into a variety of neurochemical types of ...

These studies showed selective localization of three AQPs (AQP1, AQP2, and AQP4) in dorsal root ganglion neurons, enteric neurons ... The picture on the distribution of AQP family members in ...

Prior infections appear to shield enteric neurons, preventing these key components of the body's 'second brain' from dying off when future pathogens strike. A simple stomach bug could do a lot of ...

There was also an abnormal loss of enteric neurons in several parts of the intestinal tract. When the microbiomes of the mice were restored naturally, many of the physiological changes were reversed; ...

This suggests a fundamental organizational principle underlying the densities of neurons in the mammalian brain. A lognormal distribution is a statistical distribution characterized by a skewed ...

The enteric nervous system (ENS), or intrinsic nervous system, is the nervous system of the gut and home to hundreds of thousands of individual neurons. These neurons are what allow propulsion ...

"But we did get something that looks very much like Parkinson’s disease in the gut.” Next, they wanted to quantify the loss of enteric neurons, so they fluorescently labeled the antineuronal nuclear ...

The research, published in Cell, describes how gut macrophages respond to prior insult by shielding enteric neurons, preventing them from dying off when future pathogens strike. These findings may ...
