Current studies pictured the enteric nervous system and macrophages as modulators of neuroimmune processes in the inflamed gut. Expanding this view, we investigated the impact of enteric neuron-macrophage interactions on postoperative trauma and subsequent motility disturbances, i.e.

Article Synopsis
  • Enteric glial cells play a crucial role in gut functions like motility and inflammation, and they change their behavior during inflammation, making them important for understanding gut health.
  • The study investigates how different extracellular matrix (ECM) coatings affect the purity, structure, and immune response of cultured enteric glial cells using microscopy and gene sequencing techniques.
  • Results show that Matrigel and laminin provide the best growth conditions for enteric glial cells, promoting intercellular communication and influencing gene expression differently compared to other ECMs when activated by inflammation.

Article Synopsis
  • - Enteric glia are important players in the tumor microenvironment of colorectal cancer and may influence cancer development.
  • - These glial cells change their characteristics to help immune cells like monocytes become more supportive of tumor growth, indicating a complex interaction within the tumor.
  • - A higher presence of enteric glia correlates with poorer outcomes in colorectal cancer cases, suggesting their role in disease progression.

Purpose: To explore how people with Parkinson's (PwP) experience the impact of attending Parkinson Boxing (PB) on their symptoms and quality of life.

Methods: The authors NMAY and PeB conducted participant observations of four PB sessions and eight semi-structured interviews with PwP who participated in PB in Denmark. The empirical material was systematically analyzed using thematic analysis.

The production of isolated metallic nanoparticles with multifunctionalized properties, such as size and shape, is crucial for biomedical, photocatalytic, and energy storage or remediation applications. This study investigates the initial particle formations of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) bioproduced in the cyanobacteria sp. using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images for digital image analysis.
