The paper identifies two molecularly distinct subtypes of sympathetic preganglionic neurons in mice that selectively regulate gastrointestinal and adrenal functions through non-overlapping innervation patterns.

This study shows that sympathetic nervous system overactivation in a maternal separation model leads to colonic eosinophil infiltration and visceral hypersensitivity, contributing to IBS pathogenesis.

The paper shows that aerobic glycolysis increases intracellular pH in tail bud cells, promoting β-catenin acetylation and Wnt signaling, which drives mesodermal fate over neural fate.
