Meal-Sensing Signaling Pathways in Functional Dyspepsia
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2018 The upper gastrointestinal tract plays an important role in sensing the arrival, amount and chemical composition of a meal. Ingestion of a meal triggers a number of sensory signals in the gastrointestinal tract.

Dysfunctional Chemosensation in Myasthenia Gravis
Journal of Clinical Neuromuscular Disease, 2013 Myasthenia gravis has traditionally been viewed as a disorder that solely affects the neuromuscular junction within the peripheral nervous system. However, there is now evidence that the cholinergic dysfunction of this disorder may be more widespread than previously believed.

Prostaglandins and duodenal chemosensing
, 2014 Acid-sensing pathways, which trigger mucosal defense mechanisms in response to luminal acid, involve the rapid afferent-mediated "capsaicin pathway" and the sustained "prostaglandin (PG) pathway." Luminal acid quickly increases protective PG synthesis and release from epithelia, although the mechanism by which luminal acid induces PG synthesis is still
