Description and functional validation of human enteroendocrine cell sensors. [PDF]
Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) are gut epithelial cells that respond to intestinal contents by secreting hormones, including the incretins glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and gastric inhibitory protein (GIP), which regulate multiple physiological processes.

Evolving Concepts and Translational Relevance of Enteroendocrine Cell Biology [PDF]
Classical enteroenteroendocrine cell (EEC) biology evolved historically from identification of scattered hormone-producing endocrine cells within the epithelial mucosa of the stomach, small and large intestine. Purification of functional EEC hormones from intestinal extracts, coupled with molecular cloning of cDNAs and genes expressed within EECs has ...

Glutamine-induced signaling pathways via amino acid receptors in enteroendocrine L cell lines [PDF]
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), secreted by gastrointestinal enteroendocrine L cells, induces insulin secretion and is important for glucose homeostasis. GLP-1 secretion is induced by various luminal nutrients, including amino acids.

The Cellular Diversity and Transcription Factor Code of Drosophila Enteroendocrine Cells
Summary: Enteroendocrine cells (EEs) in the intestinal epithelium have important endocrine functions, yet this cell lineage exhibits great local and regional variations that have hampered detailed characterization of EE subtypes.

Enteroendocrine Cells Support Intestinal Stem-Cell-Mediated Homeostasis in Drosophila
Summary: Intestinal stem cells in the adult Drosophila midgut are regulated by growth factors produced from the surrounding niche cells including enterocytes and visceral muscle. The role of the other major cell type, the secretory enteroendocrine cells,

Type 2 diabetes is associated with impaired jejunal enteroendocrine GLP-1 cell lineage in human obesity [PDF]
Objectives Altered enteroendocrine cell (EEC) function in obesity and type 2 diabetes is not fully understood. Understanding the transcriptional program that controls EEC differentiation is important because some EEC types harbor significant therapeutic ...

An enteroendocrine cell-enteric glia connection revealed by 3D electron microscopy.
The enteroendocrine cell is the cornerstone of gastrointestinal chemosensation. In the intestine and colon, this cell is stimulated by nutrients, tastants that elicit the perception of flavor, and bacterial by-products; and in response, the cell secretes
