Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2018 Luminal chemosensing is a term used to describe how small molecules in the gut lumen interact with the host through surface receptors or via transport into the submucosa. In this review, we have summarized recent advances of understanding luminal chemosensing in the gastroduodenal mucosa, with a particular emphasis on how chemosensing affects mucosal ...

Gut chemosensing mechanisms [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2015 The enteroendocrine system is the primary sensor of ingested nutrients and is responsible for secreting an array of gut hormones, which modulate multiple physiological responses including gastrointestinal motility and secretion, glucose homeostasis, and appetite.

Chemosensing on Miniaturized Plasmonic Substrates [PDF]
Micromachines, 2021 Round, small-sized coverslips were coated for the first time with thin layers of indium tin oxide (ITO, 10–40 nm)/gold (Au, 2–8 nm) and annealed at 550 °C for several hours. The resulting nanostructures on miniaturized substrates were further optimized for the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) chemosensing of a model molecule—1,2-bis-(4 ...

New Perspectives on Classical Alarmin Responses to Intestinal Helminth Infection. [PDF]
Parasite ImmunolABSTRACT Interleukins 33, 25, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) are core components of type two immune responses and have been studied extensively using helminth infection models. However, many questions remain regarding their cellular sources, their immune recipients, as well as how they shape immunity.

Trigeminal Chemosensation [PDF]
, 2003 In this chapter, basic aspects of the anatomy, physiology, and chemical responsiveness of the human trigeminal system were reviewed. Additionally, studies demonstrating that ocular trigeminal sensitivity may be similar to intranasal trigeminal sensitivity were reviewed.

The Structure and Function of Ionotropic Receptors in Drosophila
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021 Ionotropic receptors (IRs) are a highly divergent subfamily of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluR) and are conserved across Protostomia, a major branch of the animal kingdom that encompasses both Ecdysozoa and Lophothrochozoa.

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2019 The reduction of neuronal responses to repeated stimulus presentation occurs in many sensory neurons, also in the inferior colliculus of birds. The cellular mechanisms that cause response adaptation are not well described.

Effects of Mating on Gene Expression in Female Insects: Unifying the Field
Insects, 2022 There is intense interest in controlling insect reproductive output. In many insect species, reproductive output is profoundly influenced by mating, including the receipt of sperm and seminal fluid molecules, through physiological and behavior changes ...

CO2 chemosensing in rat oesophagus [PDF]
Gut, 2008 Acid in the oesophageal lumen is often sensed as heartburn. It was hypothesised that luminal CO(2), a permeant gas, rather than H(+), permeates through the epithelium, and is converted to H(+), producing an afferent neural signal by activating chemosensors.The rat lower oesophageal mucosa was superfused with pH 7.0 buffer, and pH 1.0 or pH 6.4 high CO ...

Biomolecules, 2021 Olfaction is crucial for insects to find food sources, mates, and oviposition sites. One of the initial steps in olfaction is facilitated by odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) that translocate hydrophobic odorants through the aqueous olfactory sensilla ...
