The RET tyrosine kinase is required for the migration, proliferation, and survival of the enteric neural crest-derived cells (ENCCs) that form the enteric nervous system (ENS). Hypomorphic RET alleles cause intestinal aganglionosis [Hirschsprung disease (HSCR)], in which delayed migration and successive nonapoptotic ENCC death are considered to be major contributory factors. The significance of...

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a complex network of interconnected neurons within the wall of the intestine that controls intestinal motility, regulates mucosal secretion and blood flow, and also modulates sensation from the gut. The cells that form the ENS in mammals are derived primarily from vagal neural crest cells. During the past decade there has been an explosion of information abou...

It is both ironic and remarkable that now, almost 200 years later, the question of interaction between the gut and the brain in Parkinson’s disease (PD) has resurfaced to become the subject of a veritable tsunami of fascinating and tremendously important research that has potential ramifications not only for understanding the pathophysiology of PD but also for its treatment and even its diagnos...

In this paper, we argue that realizing the vision of the Semantic Web as an open and global decentralized knowledge space would greatly benefit from the availability of a large-scale service which may enable the systematic reuse of URIs across independently produced Semantic Web contents. Such a service, which we call an Entity Name System (ENS), might play for the Semantic Web the role that th...

A fog radio access network (F-RAN) is studied, in which KT edge nodes (ENs) connected to a cloud server via orthogonal fronthaul links, serve KR users through a wireless Gaussian interference channel. Both the ENs and the users have finite-capacity cache memories, which are filled before the user demands are revealed. While a centralized placement phase is used for the ENs, which model static b...

Gene therapy to the gastrointestinal tract has remarkable potential for treating gastrointestinal disorders that currently lack effective treatments. Adeno-associated viral vectors (AAVs) have been extensively applied to the central nervous system, and have repeatedly demonstrated safety and efficacy in animal models. The enteric nervous system (ENS) represents a vast collection of neurons and ...

Cell therapeutic approaches to treat a range of congenital and degenerative neuropathies are under intense investigation. There have been recent significant advancements in the development of cell therapy to treat disorders of the enteric nervous system (ENS), enteric neuropathies. These advances include the efficient generation of enteric neural progenitors from pluripotent stem cells and the ...

Objective To compare the periodontal bone height (PBH) of exclusive narghile smokers (ENS) with that of exclusive cigarette smokers (ECS). Methods Tunisian males aged 20-35 years who have been ENS for more than five narghile-years or ECS for more than five pack-years were recruited to participate in this comparative cross-sectional study. Information about oral health habits and tobacco consump...
