Enteric glia are the partners of neurons in the enteric nervous system throughout the
gastrointestinal tract. Roles fulfilled by enteric glia are diverse and contribute to maintaining …

Gut physiology is the epicenter of a web of internal communication systems (ie, neural,
immune, hormonal) mediated by cell-cell contacts, soluble factors, and external influences …

Current studies pictured the enteric nervous system and macrophages as modulators of
neuroimmune processes in the inflamed gut. Expanding this view, we investigated the …

Enteric glia are a heterogeneous population of peripheral glia within the enteric nervous
system and play pivotal roles in gut homeostasis, tissue integrity, coordination of motility …

Introduction Wnt-signaling is a key regulator of stem cell homeostasis, extensively studied in
the intestinal crypt and other metazoan tissues. Yet, there is hardly any data available on the …

Introduction Enteric glial cells are important players in the control of motility, intestinal barrier
integrity and inflammation. During inflammation, they switch into a reactive phenotype …

Background Postoperative ileus (POI) is a condition marked by a temporary suppression of
gastrointestinal motility following abdominal surgery. The mechanism of POI encompasses …

BACKGROUND Postoperative ileus (POI) is a common complication after abdominal
surgery with high morbidity, which hinders patient recovery, prolongs hospitalization, and …

The enteric nervous system (ENS), consisting of neurons and glial cells, is situated along the
