The stem cells that maintain and repair the postnatal skeleton remain undefined. One model
suggests that perisinusoidal mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) give rise to osteoblasts, …

mTOR is a regulator of cell growth and survival, protein synthesis-dependent synaptic
plasticity, and autophagic degradation of cellular components. When triggered by mTOR …

The regulation and stem cell origin of normal and neoplastic gastric glands are uncertain.
Here, we show that Mist1 expression marks quiescent stem cells in the gastric corpus isthmus. …

While the transporters that accumulate classical neurotransmitters in synaptic vesicles have
been identified, little is known about how their expression regulates synaptic transmission. …

Background & Aims When the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) promoter is used to express
cellular toxins that eliminate glia in mice, intestinal epithelial permeability and proliferation …

The aim of the current study was to identify enteric 5-HT 4 splice variants, locate enteric 5-HT
4 receptors, determine the relationship, if any, of the 5-HT 4 receptor to 5-HT 1P activity, …

Trapping of weak bases was utilized to evaluate stimulus‐induced changes in the internal
pH of the secretory vesicles of chromaffin cells and enteric neurons. The internal acidity of …

Cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF) is neuroprotective for nigrostriatal dopamine
neurons and restores dopaminergic function in animal models of Parkinson's disease (PD). …

Trophic factor signaling is important for the migration, differentiation, and survival of enteric
neurons during development. The mechanisms that regulate the maturation of enteric …

Doublecortin-like kinase 1 protein (DCLK1) is a gastrointestinal tuft cell marker that has been
proposed to identify quiescent and tumor growth–sustaining stem cells. DCLK1 + tuft cells …
