Our understanding of human colonic motility, and autonomic reflexes that generate motor
patterns, has increased markedly through high-resolution manometry. Details of the motor …

Gastric peristalsis is critically dependent on an underlying electrical conduction system.
Recent years have witnessed substantial progress in clarifying the operations of this system …

Epithelial furrowing is a fundamental morphogenetic process during gastrulation,
neurulation, and body shaping. A furrow often results from a fold that propagates along a …

Background High‐resolution colonic manometry gives an unprecedented window into motor
patterns of the human colon. Our objective was to characterize motor activities throughout …

The first contractile waves in the developing embryonic gut are purely myogenic; they only
involve smooth muscle. Here, we provide evidence for a transition from smooth muscle to …

Nitrergic nerves have been proposed to play a critical role in the orchestration of peristaltic
activities throughout the gastrointestinal tract. In the present study, we investigated the role …

Objective: Bioelectrical 'slow waves' regulate gastrointestinal contractions. We aimed to
confirm whether the pyloric sphincter demarcates slow waves in the intact stomach and …

Background The motility in the small intestine is governed in part by myogenic bio‐electrical
events, known as slow waves. High‐resolution multi‐electrode mapping has improved our …

Timely and efficient contractions of the smooth muscle of the uterus–the myometrium–are
crucial to a successful pregnancy outcome. These episodic contractions are regulated by …

Introduction: Few biomarkers support diagnosis and treatment of disorders of gut-brain
interaction (DGBI), although gastroduodenal junction (GDJ) electromechanical coupling is a …
