MOVEMENTS OF INTESTINES. [PDF]
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1901 During treatment of a woman for floating kidney, nervousness and general debility, I administered—in the course of a rest-cure—enemas of cottonseed-oil; one time, about five hours after the injection, the patient vomited, the vomit for a greater part proving to be cottonseed-oil, this incident showing the possibility of a retrograding current of the ...

Asymmetric Fluid Flow in Helical Pipes Inspired by Shark Intestines [PDF]
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 121 (40) e2406481121 (2024)Unlike human intestines, which are long, hollow tubes, the intestines of sharks and rays contain interior helical structures surrounding a cylindrical hole. One function of these structures may be to create asymmetric flow, favoring passage of fluid down the digestive tract, from anterior to posterior.

Loss of proton‐sensing GPR4 reduces tumor progression in mouse models of colon cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.G protein‐coupled receptor 4 (GPR4) is a pH‐sensing receptor activated by acidic pH. GPR4 expression is increased in patients with inflammatory bowel disease who are at high risk of developing colorectal cancer. In mouse models, loss of GPR4 attenuated tumor progression. This correlated with increased IL2 and natural killer cell activity.

Digestion Modelling in the Small Intestine : Impact of Dietary Fibre [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 In this work, we continue the modelling of the digestion in the small intestine, started in a previous article, by investigating the effects of dietary fibre. We recall that this model aims at taking into account the three main phenomena of the digestion, namely the transit of the bolus, the degradation of feedstuffs and the absorption through the ...

TRPM8 levels determine tumor vulnerability to channel agonists
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.TRPM8 is a Ca2+ permissive channel. Regardless of the amount of its transcript, high levels of TRPM8 protein mark different tumors, including prostate, breast, colorectal, and lung carcinomas. Targeting TRPM8 with channel agonists stimulates inward calcium currents followed by emptying of cytosolic Ca2+ stores in cancer cells.
