One of the most transformative developments in neurogastroenterology is the realization that
many functions normally attributed to enteric neurons involve interactions with enteric glial …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a chronic and progressive disease, and management requires
an understanding of both the primary neurological injury and the secondary sequelae that …

The interplay between the immune and nervous systems has been acknowledged in the
past, but only more recent studies have started to unravel the cellular and molecular players …

Enteric glia are a unique class of peripheral glial cells within the gastrointestinal tract. Major
populations of enteric glia are found in enteric ganglia in the myenteric and submucosal …

Chemotherapy—induced gastrointestinal dysfunction is a common occurrence associated
with many different classes of chemotherapeutic agents. Gastrointestinal toxicity includes …

The monolayer of columnar epithelial cells lining the gastrointestinal tract—the intestinal
epithelial barrier (IEB)—is the largest exchange surface between the body and the external …

The intestinal epithelium comprises a monolayer of polarised columnar cells organised
along the crypt‐villus axis. Intestinal stem cells reside at the base of crypts and are …

Background & Aims: Barrier functions across epithelia and endothelia are essential for
homeostatic tissue regulation. Astroglia interact with cerebral endothelia to maintain the …

Background & Aims When the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) promoter is used to
express cellular toxins that eliminate glia in mice, intestinal epithelial permeability and …

Glia (from Greek γλοία meaning 'glue') pertains to non‐neuronal cells in the central (CNS)
and peripheral nervous system (PNS) that nourish neurons and maintain homeostasis. In …
