In addition, the effects of achalasia serum on electrical field stimulation (EFS) induced contractions were measured in circular muscle preparations. Results: Serum from achalasia patients did not ...

The selective estrogen receptor β (ERβ) agonist, LY3201, acts on enteric neuronal stem/progenitor cells, enhancing their capacity to generate enteric glial cells and neurons in vitro. Using two murine ...

Background: Morphological and functional changes in the enteric nervous system (ENS) have been reported in inflammatory bowel diseases but it is still uncertain whether neurochemical coding of ...

The intraluminal pressures and traction forces associated with the migrating motor complex are well understood; however, the contact forces directly exerted by the bowel wall on a solid, or near solid ...

imageimageThis study investigates the impact of myenteric neuron-macrophage interactions on postoperative trauma and subsequent motility disturbances, i.e., postoperative ileus. Gut surgical trauma ...

During the ageing process the enteric nervous system undergoes morphofunctional changes, such as enteric neurodegeneration. Neuronal death can be attributed to increase radicals free, and ascorbic ...

While the size of myenteric ganglia after stroke was not altered, myenteric neurons from post–permanent intraluminal midcerebral artery occlusion mice showed a reduction in neuronal nitric oxide ...

This paper identifies a subset of neurons within adult mouse myenteric ganglia that are not labeled via canonical neural-crest labeling, and argues, based on extensive lineage tracing, imaging and ...

Figure 1. Procedure to isolate myenteric neurons from the gastrointestinal tract of adult mice. (A) Timing (red arrows) of experimental steps involved in the isolation and transfection of murine ...
