Numbers of enterochromaffin cells and amount of 5-HT were significantly lower in Stat6-deficient mice after infection compared with Stat4-deficient mice. In addition, enterochromaffin cell numbers and ...

Enterochromaffin cells (ECs) are the most abundant subtype of intestinal enteroendocrine cells in the colon, which can be directly contacted by gut microbiota on the side of the intestinal lumen and ...

"While most organs are thought to be shaped by static, brick-like cells, our study highlights the powerful role of dynamic, migrating cells—and how they work together to sculpt living tissue ...

Abnormal amino acid metabolism supports cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and immune evasion in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Previous research exploring amino acid metabolism in HCC has ...

Heart muscle cells do something similar, issuing electrical “heave-ho” signals that make the organ beat. Skin and other epithelial cells, however, were thought to be silent; they form barrier ...

Electrochem. methods were used to explore the exocytotic nature of serotonin (5-HT) release in human carcinoid BON cells, an in vitro human enterochromaffin cell model, to understand the mechanisms ...
