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 glial cell of the peripheral nervous system (PNS), the Schwann cell (SC), counts among

The enteric nervous system (ENS) coordinates diverse functions in the intestine but has
eluded comprehensive molecular characterization because of the rarity and diversity of …

Tissue maintenance and repair depend on the integrated activity of multiple cell types.
Whereas the contributions of epithelial,, immune, and stromal cells, in intestinal tissue …

Early life gut microbiota have been increasingly recognized as major contributors to short

The high turnover and regenerative capacity of the adult intestine relies on resident stem
cells located at the bottom of the crypt. The enteric nervous system consists of an abundant …

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract plays an essential role in food digestion, absorption, and the
mucosal immune system; it is also inhabited by a huge range of microbes. The GI tract is …

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 …

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 …

A highly conserved but convoluted network of neurons and glial cells, the enteric nervous
system (ENS), is positioned along the wall of the gut to coordinate digestive processes and …
