Background & Aims: The size and function of the enteric nervous system (ENS) can vary substantially between individuals. Because ENS function is involved in the etiology of a growing number of common human diseases, understanding mechanisms that regulate ENS variation is important.

Methods: We analyzed RNAseq data from 41 normal adult human colon biopsies and single-cell RNA-seq data from human and mouse developing gut.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that remains difficult to treat due to the lack of a clear molecular mechanism and incomplete understanding of involved proteins. To identify potential therapeutic targets, it is important to gain insight into changes in protein expression patterns related to epileptogenesis. One promising approach is to analyze proteomic data, which can provide valuable information about these changes.
