This study identifies a neuronal PCSK1-M-ENK pathway in the ENS that suppresses colorectal cancer growth through OGFr activation.

This study identifies reduced enteric Bdnf and altered VIPergic signaling as key mechanisms of GI dysmotility in a Mecp2-null mouse model of Rett syndrome.

The paper detects mitotic neuroblasts in adult murine and human small intestinal myenteric plexus, providing evidence of steady-state neurogenesis.

This study identifies NDRG1 as a DNA repair protein that links pancreatic cancer stroma to chemoresistance by enhancing DNA damage repair through R-loop resolution.

This paper optimizes immunohistochemical protocols for assessing the enteric nervous system in formalin-fixed human tissue using multiple protein markers.

This study shows stress-induced glucocorticoid signaling reduces BDNF-TrkB signaling in the enteric nervous system, leading to GI dysmotility, and identifies TrkB as a potential therapeutic target.
