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 ...

Amyloidosis in the central and enteric nervous system contributes to cognitive deficits and gastrointestinal dysmotility—the constipation in Alzheimer's disease (AD). APP/PS1 mice, a transgenic mouse model of amyloidosis, recapitulated the amyloidosis in the central nervous system; they were unsustainable in recapitulating the amyloidosis in the ...

Is Adipose Tissue Inflammation the Culprit of Obesity‐Associated Comorbidities?
ABSTRACT In individuals with obesity, the onset of chronic comorbidities coincides with the excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in various tissue beds. As obesity progresses, adipose tissue becomes increasingly dysfunctional causing chronic low‐grade inflammation.

Weight Loss‐Associated Remodeling of Adipose Tissue Immunometabolism
ABSTRACT Obesity is a multifactorial condition characterized by excessive adiposity and systemic chronic low‐grade inflammation. Recent literature reflects a growing appreciation for the complex interplay between metabolism and the immune system in the pathogenesis of obesity‐related health conditions.

Neuroimmune pathophysiology of long COVID
Although COVID‐19 was originally considered a respiratory illness, it is now well established that SARS‐CoV‐2 infection can have far‐reaching impacts on the nervous system. Neurological symptoms such as chemosensory dysfunction are frequently observed during acute infection and approximately 10% of COVID‐19 cases will go on to develop new or persistent
