Anti-Hu antibodies activate enteric and sensory neurons. [PDF]
IgG of type 1 anti-neuronal nuclear antibody (ANNA-1, anti-Hu) specificity is a serological marker of paraneoplastic neurological autoimmunity (including enteric/autonomic) usually related to small-cell lung carcinoma. We show here that IgG isolated from

Age-related structural changes in the myenteric nervous plexus ganglion along the anterior wall of the proximal human duodenum: A morphometric analysis [PDF]
Background/Aim. Aging is one of the most complex biological processes which probably affect structure and function of the enteric nerve system. However, there is not much available information on this topic, particularly in humans.

Ultrastructure of the Avian Myenteric Plexus [PDF]
La estructura fina del plexo mientérico se investigó en 21 leghorns blancos masculinos y femeninos de 4 semanas a 4 meses de edad. Los ganglios del plexo mientérico consistían en un neurópilo denso formado por cuerpos de células nerviosas, axones mielinizados y no mielinizados, células de Schwann y células satélite.

Distinct subpopulations of enteric neuronal progenitors defined by time of development, sympathoadrenal lineage markers and Mash-1-dependence [PDF]
Enteric and sympathetic neurons have previously been proposed to be lineally related. We present independent lines of evidence that suggest that enteric neurons arise from at least two lineages, only one of which expresses markers in common with ...

Is Dysphagia in Multiple System Atrophy Responsive to Levodopa? Results from a Retrospective Study
Abstract Background Dysphagia remains a major clinical concern in multiple system atrophy (MSA), and so far, lacks relevant treatment options. Objective To systematically assess levodopa‐responsiveness of dysphagia in MSA. Methods 19 MSA‐patients underwent endoscopic swallowing evaluation in Off‐ and On‐state, following an adapted FEES‐levodopa‐test ...

Prenatal intestinal obstruction affects the myenteric plexus and causes functional bowel impairment in fetal rat experimental model of intestinal atresia. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Intestinal atresia is a rare congenital disorder with an incidence of 3/10,000 birth. About one-third of patients have severe intestinal dysfunction after surgical repair. We examined whether prenatal gastrointestinal obstruction might effect

HIV-1 Tat exacerbates lipopolysaccharide-induced cytokine release via TLR4 signaling in the enteric nervous system [PDF]
The loss of gut epithelium integrity leads to translocation of microbes and microbial products resulting in immune activation and drives systemic inflammation in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients. Although viral loads in HIV patients are
