The human colon: Evidence for degenerative changes during aging and the physiological consequences

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Reduced nociceptor innervation can explain diminished abdominal pain among the elderly. Degenerative changes occur within the colon wall, especially ascending colon. Mechanisms may include senescence‐like activity and inflammaging. Constipation is more likely to occur during age‐related challenges affecting functions of the bowel that now have reduced ...

Contribution of Sympathetic Sensory Coupling to Craniofacial Nociception

open access: yesOrthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stress and anxiety are associated with increased pain intensity in temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) patients. It is possible that this association is due to a direct interaction between the sympathetic and sensory nervous systems. This narrative review examines evidence for a potential sympathetic sensory interaction in deep craniofacial ...

Neurotrophin Function in Skin

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings, 1997
Neurotrophins, the NGF-related family of neurotrophic factors, regulate the innervation of skin by sensory and sympathetic neurons. For the sensory nervous system, sensory innervation of different modalities (nocioception, proprioception, mechanoreception) is regulated by different members of the neurotrophin gene family.

Serum Biomarkers and Their Clinical Correlates in Traumatic Trigeminal Neuropathy: A Pilot Study

open access: yesOral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study aims to investigate the serum biomarker levels in patients with painful post‐traumatic trigeminal neuropathy (PPTTN) and explore the associations between these biomarkers and the clinical and psychological characteristics of the patients. Materials and Methods A total of 32 patients with PPTTN were included.

Microgravity‐induced changes in skeletal muscle and possible countermeasures: What we can learn from bed rest and human space studies

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite exercise countermeasures to sustain health and performance in spaceflight, complete maintenance of muscle mass and functions in microgravity is still not possible for most astronauts. The principal cause of the limited effectiveness of existing exercise countermeasures is the difficulty in achieving full loading forces in space.

Neurotrophin & synaptogenesis

open access: yes, 2020
Synaptogenesis is encoded by multiple genes that program the assembly of neural networks in the immature brain during development and later in life, in the experienced brain that must respond to changes of the external world and of proprioception. Processing of neural network activity cannot solely rely on the activity of established synapses as their ...

Exploring neuronal mechanisms of osteosarcopenia in older adults

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The mechanosensitive osteocytic network within the bone matrix acts as a receptor and plays a crucial role in the functional adaptation of bone to mechanical loading. Through mechanotransduction, osteocytes convert mechanical impulses into electrical signals, which are transmitted via afferent nerves to sympathetic preganglionic ...

Early adversity and the comorbidity between metabolic disease and psychopathology

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Hierarchical diagram representing the interplay between the genetic background and early life adversities and its effect on multiple physiological processes that ultimately impact on the risk for the comorbdity between psychopathology and cardiometabolic disorders.

Membrane trafficking of synaptic adhesion molecules

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Synaptic cellular adhesion molecules are surface transmembrane receptors that have been shown to internalize via endocytosis, and possibly also recycle, in a process that has been linked to the function and the turnover of the synaptic contact site.

Inhibition of ErbB2 mitigates secondary denervation after traumatic muscle injury

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Our study evaluated the therapeutic potential of ErbB2 inhibition (Herceptin) after volumetric muscle loss (VML) injury, primarily evaluating improvements at the neuromuscular junctions (NMJ). A full thickness model of VML injury to the tibialis anterior muscle of adult Lewis rats was used, and treatments included Herceptin, a ...
