Learn what the large intestine does. Clarify the colon's role in water absorption and how it increases it. Study the function of the rectum in the...
Mucosal barriers in the gut. In the small intestine, chemical barriers, including AMPs produced by Paneth cells, have major roles in the segregation of intestinal bacteria and intestinal epithelial cells. In contrast, in the large intestine, which is inhabited by a tremendous number of bacteria, ...
However, what patterns of electrical activity underlie the propulsion of natural faecal content remains unknown, particularly along the large intestine, where large quantities of water are reabsorbed and semi-solid faeces form. In this study, we developed a novel approach which enables for the first...
The intestinal mucosa is a site of multiple stressors and forms the barrier between the internal and external environment. In the intestine, a complex interplay between the microbiota, epithelial barrier and the local immune system maintains homeostasis and promotes a healthy gut. One of the major...
disorders via influencing the gut–brain axis. It is increasingly evident that sex–microbiota–brain interactions take part in the occurrence of neurologic and psychiatric disorders. Accordingly, integrating the existing evidence might help to enlighten the fundamental roles of these interactions in the ...
The role of glutaminase in the small intestine Glutaminase is the enzyme which hydrolyses glutamine, the main respiratory fuel of the intestine, to yield glutamate and ammonia. Glutaminase has a central role in intestinal metabolism: the products of the reaction catalyzed by glutam... R Mccauley,...
The intestinal mucosa is a site of multiple stressors and forms the barrier between the internal and external environment. In the intestine, a complex interplay between the microbiota, epithelial barrier and the local immune system maintains homeostasis and promotes a healthy gut. One of the major...
The tunneling nanotube (TNT) is a structure used for intercellular communication, and is a thin membrane protrusion mediating transport of various signaling molecules and cellular components. M-Sec has potent membrane deformation ability and induces TNT
[40]. A similar positive correlation between MTs and Ki-67 expression had also been confirmed in breast cancer [20,41], nasopharyngeal carcinoma [21], large intestine adenocarcinoma [42], basal cell carcinoma [43], and soft tissue sarcomas such as malignant fibrous histiocytoma, liposarcoma, ...
Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are the major anions in the large intestine. They are produced by a bacterial fermentation of dietary fiber. SCFAs are known to have a variety of physiological and pathphysiological effects on intestine. However, the mechanisms by which intraluminal SCFAs are sensed...
