Use of Human In Vitro Gut Specimens for Translational Neurogastroenterology and Motility in the 21st Century

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
In vitro studies with GI surgical specimens or biopsy are a critical step in translating preclinical studies in animals to humans before testing potential therapeutic interventions in expensive clinical trials. Routine availability of human gut specimens, in combination with technological advances and powerful new in vitro models of the human ENS from ...

Direct Stimulation of Gastric Smooth Muscle Cells via Gq Proteins With Light

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Optogenetic stimulation enables direct and selective stimulation of smooth muscle cells and thus provides a new opportunity to restore gastric contractility in cases of gastroparesis. Herein, we demonstrate that hOPN5 is a new and effective tool acting via Gq signaling and is thus complementary to light‐induced membrane depolarization with ...

Multi‐Omics Analyses Reveal the Red and Far‐Red Light Combination Enhancing Heterologous Protein and Metabolite Production in Nicotiana benthamiana

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transient expression of exogenous protein in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves via agroinfiltration offers a rapid and efficient platform for functional gene discovery and heterologous production of valuable eukaryotic proteins and metabolites. Though light quality is an important factor for plant photomorphogenesis, its impact on the efficiency of

Genome‐wide DNA methylation profiles in the raphe nuclei of patients with autism spectrum disorder

open access: yesPsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, EarlyView.
Aim Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has a strong genetic basis, yet its genetic complexities remain elusive. Current research highlights environmental factors and epigenetic processes, such as DNA methylation, as crucial in ASD development. This exploratory study addresses a gap in understanding epigenetic regulation in the dorsal raphe (DR)—a region ...

Optogenetic methods to stimulate gamma motor neuron axons ex vivo

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract It is challenging to stimulate gamma motor neurons, which are important regulators of muscle spindle afferent function, without also recruiting alpha motor neurons. Here, we test the feasibility of stimulating gamma motor neuron axons using optogenetics in two transgenic mouse lines. We used an ex vivo muscle–nerve preparation in adult mice to
