Enteric glia are a fascinating population of cells. Initially identified in the gut wall as the
“support” cells of the enteric nervous system, studies over the past 20 years have unveiled a …

Background The intestine is known to contain enteric neuronal progenitors, but their precise
identity and the mechanisms that activate them remain unknown. Based on the evidence for …

Renal iron recycling preserves filtered iron from urinary excretion. However, it remains
debated whether ferroportin (FPN), the only known iron exporter, is functionally involved in …

Abstract Background Neuronal stem cells (NSCs) are promising for neurointestinal disease
therapy. Although NSCs have been isolated from intestinal musclularis, their presence in …

Fish are a convenient model for the study of reparative and post-traumatic processes of
central nervous system (CNS) recovery, because the formation of new cells in their CNS …

How the gut microbiota and immune system maintain intestinal homeostasis in concert with
the enteric nervous system (ENS) remains incompletely understood. To address this gap, we …

Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a severe, life-threatening condition and one of the leading
causes of intestinal failure in children. Here we were interested in changes in muscle layers …

The three‐dimensional ultrastructure of the tendon is complex. Two main cell types are
classically supported: elongated tenocytes and ovoid tenoblasts. The existence of resident …

The central nervous system of Pacific salmon retains signs of embryonic structure
throughout life and a large number of neuroepithelial neural stem cells (NSCs) in the …

In the brain of teleost fish, radial glial cells are the major type of astroglial cells. To answer
the question as to how radial glia structures adapt to the continuous growth of the brain …
