Shedding light on excessive crying in babies
Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, François Lazeyras
Background Excessive and inconsolable crying behavior in otherwise healthy infants (a condition called infant colic (IC)) is very distressing to parents, may lead to maternal depression, and in extreme cases, may result in shaken baby syndrome. Despite the ...
NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP2020Anatomy and Physiology of the Digestive Tract of Drosophila melanogaster
The gastrointestinal tract has recently come to the forefront of multiple research fields. It is now recognized as a major source of signals modulating food intake, insulin secretion and energy balance. It is also a key player in immunity and, through its ...
GENETICS SOCIETY AMERICA2018The contribution of the host stress response to the pathogenesis of Pseudomonas entomophila in the Drosophila intestine
Recently, several studies done in Drosophila have revealed that efficient and rapid recovery from bacterial infection in the gut is possible only when bacterial clearance by the immune system is coordinated with repair through renewal of the epithelium dam ...
EPFL2013Lrig1: a new master regulator of epithelial stem cells
The intestine represents the most vigorously renewing, adult epithelial tissue that makes maintenance of its homeostasis a delicate balance between proliferation, cell cycle arrest, migration, differentiation, and cell death. These processes are precisely ...
2012The Intestinal Epithelium
The mammalian intestine is a prototype of a self-renewing organ. The rapid cellular turnover is supported by proliferating progenitors located in the intestinal crypt, which is also the stem cell location. Homeostasis of the intestinal epithelium has to be ...
EPFL2011LRH-1: an orphan nuclear receptor involved in development, metabolism and steroidogenesis
Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans
The liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1; NR5A2) and steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1; NR5A1) are two orphan members of the Ftz-F1 subfamily of nuclear receptors. LRH-1 is expressed in tissues derived from endoderm, including intestine, liver and exocrine pancreas, ...
2004The functions of mucosal T cells in containing the indigenous commensal flora of the intestine
Nicola Harris, Andrew J. Macpherson
There is an immense load of non-pathogenic commensal bacteria in the distal small intestine and the colon of mammals. The physical barrier that prevents penetration (translocation) of these organisms into the body is a simple epithelium comprised of the si ...
