α8β1 integrin regulates nutrient absorption through an Mfge8-PTEN dependent mechanism. [PDF]
, 2016 Coordinated gastrointestinal smooth muscle contraction is critical for proper nutrient absorption and is altered in a number of medical disorders. In this work, we demonstrate a critical role for the RGD-binding integrin α8β1 in promoting nutrient ...

Interactions of Little-brain and Big-brain in Explaining Abdominal Symptoms
International Journal of Endorsing Health Science Research, 2022 For a long time, the role of an extensive neurological network in the gut (the little-brain) has been under-recognized because the enteric nervous system (ENS) is thought to have little impact beyond digestion.

The Shape of Motile Cells [PDF]
Current Biology, 2009 Motile cells - fan-like keratocytes, hand-shaped nerve growth cones, polygonal fibroblasts, to name but a few - come in different shapes and sizes. We discuss the origins of this diversity as well as what shape tells us about the physics and biochemistry underlying cell movement.

Fixation eye movement abnormalities and stereopsis recovery following strabismus repair
Scientific Reports, 2021 We evaluated the effects of strabismus repair on fixational eye movements (FEMs) and stereopsis recovery in patients with fusion maldevelopment nystagmus (FMN) and patients without nystagmus.

Phospholipid directed motility of surface‐motile bacteria [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2006 Summary Myxococcus xanthus is a surface‐motile bacterium that has adapted at least one chemosensory system to allow directed movement towards the slowly diffusible lipid phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). The Dif chemosensory pathway is remarkable because it has at least three inputs coupled to outputs that control extracellular matrix (ECM) production and

Effects of caerulein on the gastric motility of rats. [PDF]
, 1985 The effects of caerulein on gastric motility in urethane-anesthetized rats were studied. Caerulein administered into the lateral cerebral ventricle (i.c.v.) and jugular vein (i.v.) caused predominantly an inhibitory effect on gastric motility but ...
