Gut microbiota play an important role in maintaining intestinal health and are involved in the
metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids. Recent studies have shown that the …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is comprised of a network of neurons and glial cells that
are responsible for coordinating many aspects of gastrointestinal (GI) function. These cells …

Autonomous regulation of the intestine requires the combined activity of functionally distinct
neurons of the enteric nervous system (ENS). However, the variety of enteric neuron types …

Schwann cell precursors (SCPs) are nerve‐associated progenitors that can generate
myelinating and non‐myelinating Schwann cells but also are multipotent like the neural …

The neural crest is a transient, multipotent population of cells that arises at the border of the
developing nervous system. After closure of the neural tube, these cells undergo an …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a rich network of neurons and glial cells that comprise
the gastrointestinal tract's intrinsic nervous system and are responsible for controlling …

Region-related heterogeneity and state transitions of microglia are important for brain
development and neurological pathogenesis. However, regional specialization and state …

Gene co-expression analysis has emerged as a powerful method to provide insights into
gene function and regulation. The rapid growth of publicly available RNA-sequencing (RNA …

Enteric glia are a fascinating population of cells. Initially identified in the gut wall as the
“support” cells of the enteric nervous system, studies over the past 20 years have unveiled a …

Background & Aims The enteric nervous system (ENS) regulates gastrointestinal function via
different subtypes of neurons, organized into fine-tuned neural circuits. It is not clear how cell …
