Sensory Transduction in Enteroendocrine Cells
… of the gut epithelium where enteroendocrine cells act as sensor cells to secrete hormones in response to the luminal contents. This thesis focuses on voltage gated ion channels and the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily in I cells and enterochromaffin cells using the model tumour …

Intrinsic Neural Control of Propulsion, Storage and Slow Transit in the Large Intestine.
… local mucosal reflexes, which release 5-HT from enterochromaffin cells, and stretch reflexes that determine the site of origin and propagation of the CMMC, facilitating propulsion.Collectively, these studies demonstrate that in addition to AH sensory neurons; specific interneurons within the …

Characterisation of human enteroendocrine cells in organoid models
Gut hormones secreted by enteroendocrine cells (EECs) coordinate the postprandial response to a meal by regulating digestion, absorption, circulating nutrient availability and satiety. EECs are specialised endocrine cells scattered throughout the gastrointestinal epithelium that release hormones in …

Exploring the function and sensing mechanisms of human enteroendocrine cells using intestinal organoids
… presence of hormone-releasing enteroendocrine cells (EECs), which represent only around 1% of the total gut epithelium. Gut hormones are released in response to cues of different natures to regulate several physiological events, such as nutrient digestion and absorption, intestinal motility, …

Stress-induced Alterations in Mast Cell Numbers and Proteinase-activated Receptor-2 Expression of the Colon:Role of Corticotrophin-releasing factor
… whether acute stress can increase mast cell and enterochromaffin (EC) cell numbers, and proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR2) expression in the rat colon. In addition, we aimed to investigate the involvement of corticotrophin-releasing factor in these stress-related alterations. Eighteen adult …
