Characterization of a novel population of enteric nervous system glial cells in zebrafish reveals their proliferative and neurogenic properties under homeostatic conditions in adults, properties difficult to model in mammals.

Single-cell transcriptome analysis of sacral compared with vagal neural crest-derived cells in the developing chick enteric nervous system reveals both similarities and differences between these two cell populations.

Onsite sanitation maybe insufficient to interrupt transmission of enteric infections in high-burden urban settings, though risk of some infections may be reduced among children protected from birth.

Mesoderm-derived enteric neurons born in the post-natal vertebrates drive maturation and aging of the enteric nervous system.

Chronic alcohol exposure results in a long-lasting, enhanced endocannabinoid signalling at orbitostriatal synapses that is expressed in a projection-, synapse-, and behaviorally computation-specific manner.

Genetic depletion of enteric glia in vivo disrupts antimicrobial peptide secretion by Paneth cells to change fecal microbial composition but does not broadly alter other intestinal programs.

A heterodimeric exporter exhibits conformational equilibria in the presence of nucleotides, suggesting a unified mechanistic model for the conformational cycle of ABC exporters.

Structural, functional, and bioinformatics analyses further understanding of the initial steps of prokaryotic glycoconjugate biosynthesis catalyzed by the large class of membrane-embedded monotopic phosphoglycosyl transferase superfamily.

Motile Enterobacteriaceae override chemorepulsion from the microbiota metabolite indole in favor of nutrient attraction, challenging the idea that indole taxis protects the host against intestinal infection.

Enteric bacteria associated with bloodstream infections are attracted to human serum through L-serine and the chemoreceptor Tsr, and in an enterohemorrhagic lesion model use chemotaxis to invade damaged vasculature.
