Abstract: Abstract In response to stress, apelin and corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) are upregulated in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This study was designed to investigate the effect of stress on endogenous apelin in colon and its regulatory… read more here.

Abstract: How the enteric nervous system determines the pacing and propagation direction of neurogenic contractions along the colon remains largely unknown. We used a chemogenetic strategy to ablate enteric neurons expressing calretinin (CAL). Mice expressing human… read more here.
