Development and functional adaptation of intestinal macrophages across the lifespan
This article discusses intestinal macrophage development, including the influence of developmental origins and life stages; ontogeny and functional heterogeneity; preclinical and clinical evidence. Abstract Macrophages of the gastrointestinal system are central regulators of gut development, homeostasis and disease, yet their origin, functional ...

We have carried out a detailed ultrastructural study of the interstitial cells near the myenteric plexus of the canine colon and defined the structural characteristics which distinguish them from other resident non-neural cells.

Background Equine dysautonomia (ED) causes degeneration and loss of autonomic neurons. Approximately 50% of chronic cases recover, but it is unclear how they survive neuronal loss.

Gastrointestinal tracts from fetuses with a valproic acid‐induced neural tube defect contain blood. Structurally, the enteric neuronal stripes are thinner with a narrower interstripe distance, leading to an increased number of stripes. Functionally, gastrointestinal motility is abnormal, with increased contraction frequency and increased length of ...

Enteric Nervous System Damage by Food Contaminants: A Pathway to Neurodegeneration?
ABSTRACT The enteric nervous system (ENS), a key component of the gut–brain axis, has emerged as a critical player in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). It is the first neural system exposed to food contaminants (FCs)—a diverse group of ubiquitous toxic compounds fortuitously present in food derived from production, processing, storage, or ...

Activation of smooth muscle and myenteric plexus cells of jejunum via Toll-like receptor 4
The cell types of the gut expressing Toll-like receptor 4, which recognizes specifically bacterial lipopolysaccharides, as well as the functionality of this receptor, have remained controversial. We aimed to clarify these issues.

Severe gut dysmotility (SD) is marked by impaired gut propulsion and distinct histopathological features, including fewer myenteric and submucosal neurons per ganglion and increased interganglionic distance. However, neurons counting remains complex and

Eosinophilic myenteric ganglionitis is associated with functional intestinal obstruction
The diagnostic features and clinical course of three children (aged 1 month to 15 years) with severe functional intestinal obstruction and inflammation of the colonic lamina propria and myenteric plexus are described.
