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

Mechanisms of enteric neuropathy in diverse contexts of gastrointestinal dysfunction
Abstract The enteric nervous system (ENS) commands moment‐to‐moment gut functions through integrative neurocircuitry housed in the gut wall. The functional continuity of ENS networks is disrupted in enteric neuropathies and contributes to major disturbances in normal gut activities including abnormal gut motility, secretions, pain, immune dysregulation,

The role of reactive enteric glia‐macrophage interactions in acute and chronic inflammation
Abstract Enteric glia are a heterogeneous population of peripheral glia within the enteric nervous system and play pivotal roles in gut homeostasis, tissue integrity, coordination of motility, and intestinal immune responses. Under physiological conditions, they communicate with enteric neurons to control intestinal motility.

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 ...

Background – Itch is a common symptom in skin disorders. While the neural pathways of itch transmission from the skin to the brain are well‐understood in rodents, the same pathways in dogs remain unclear. The knowledge gap hinders the development of effective treatments for canine itch‐related disorders.

P2X₃ Knock-Out Mice Reveal a Major Sensory Role for Urothelially Released ATP [PDF]
The present study explores the possible involvement of a purinergic mechanism in mechanosensory transduction in the bladder using P2X₃ receptor knock-out (P2X₃ ⁻⁄⁻) and wild-type control (P2X₃ ⁺⁄⁺) mice.
