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

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is an extensive network comprising millions of neurons
and glial cells contained within the wall of the gastrointestinal tract. The major functions of …

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 …

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic relapsing and remitting conditions
associated with long-term gut dysfunction resulting from alterations to the enteric nervous …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) in mammals forms from neural crest cells during
embryogenesis and early postnatal life. Nevertheless, multipotent progenitors of the ENS …

Enteric glial cells are vital for the autonomic control of gastrointestinal homeostasis by the
enteric nervous system. Several different functions have been assigned to enteric glial cells …

Enteric glia are important components of the enteric nervous system (ENS) and also form an
extensive network in the mucosa of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Initially regarded as …

Background & Aims In the enteric nervous system, neurotransmitters initiate changes in
calcium (Ca 2+ responses) in glia, but it is not clear how this process affects intestinal …

Background & Aims The concept of enteric glia as regulators of intestinal homeostasis is
slowly gaining acceptance as a central concept in neurogastroenterology. Yet how glia …

Glia in the central nervous system exert precise spatial and temporal regulation over neural
circuitry on a synapse-specific basis, but it is unclear if peripheral glia share this exquisite …
