Mechanisms of enteric neuropathy in diverse contexts of gastrointestinal dysfunction
Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.Abstract The enteric nervous system (ENS) commands moment‐to‐moment gut functions through integrative neurocircuitry housed in the gut wall. The functional continuity of ENS networks is disrupted in enteric neuropathies and contributes to major disturbances in normal gut activities including abnormal gut motility, secretions, pain, immune dysregulation,

Visfatin reduces gap junction mediated cell-to-cell communication in proximal tubule-derived epithelial cells [PDF]
, 2013 Background/Aims: In the current study we examined if the adipocytokine, visfatin, alters connexin-mediated intercellular communication in proximal tubule-derived epithelial cells.

The role of reactive enteric glia‐macrophage interactions in acute and chronic inflammation
Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.Abstract Enteric glia are a heterogeneous population of peripheral glia within the enteric nervous system and play pivotal roles in gut homeostasis, tissue integrity, coordination of motility, and intestinal immune responses. Under physiological conditions, they communicate with enteric neurons to control intestinal motility.

Mean Curvature Flow with Boundary [PDF]
Ars Inven. Anal.(2021), Paper No. 4, 43 pp, 2019 We develop a theory of surfaces with boundary moving by mean curvature flow. In particular, we prove a general existence theorem by elliptic regularization, and we prove boundary regularity at all positive times under very mild hypotheses.

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.In vitro studies with GI surgical specimens or biopsy are a critical step in translating preclinical studies in animals to humans before testing potential therapeutic interventions in expensive clinical trials. Routine availability of human gut specimens, in combination with technological advances and powerful new in vitro models of the human ENS from ...

Ouabain Modulates the Distribution of Connexin 43 in Epithelial Cells
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2016 Background/Aims: The fact that ouabain has been identified as an endogenous substance, led us to inquire its physiological role in epithelial cells. Based on previous observations, we hypothesized that it influences processes related to cell contacts ...

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract The common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) shares a common terrestrial ancestor with whales (Cetacea) and has independently evolved similar physiological adaptations to their aquatic lifestyle. Although several studies have explored the electrical signalling in whale hearts, the understanding of the conduction system and electrical ...

Premature MicroRNA-1 Expression Causes Hypoplasia of the Cardiac Ventricular Conduction System. [PDF]
, 2019 Mammalian cardiac Purkinje fibers (PFs) are specified from ventricular trabecular myocardium during mid-gestation and undergo limited proliferation before assuming their final form.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Cells and conductances contributing to spontaneous activity in the lower urinary tract. Bladder and urethra exhibit spontaneous contractions at both cellular and tissue levels. Both detrusor and urethral smooth muscle cells display activity that is regular and rhythmic.
