Nature research paper: Nutrients activate distinct patterns of small-intestinal enteric neurons go.nature.com/4lr616y

Nutrients activate distinct patterns of small-intestinal enteric neurons - Nature

Calcium imaging of the mouse jejunum shows that specific nutrients in the intestinal lumen are detected by epithelial cells, which activate specific sets of enteric neurons through a serotonin-mediated signalling process.

Ecstatic to share our paper on nutrient signaling in the #EntericNervousSystem published in Nature! 🧪 We explored how neurons in the gut respond to basic nutrients that we typically ingest and tested whether they can distinguish between different nutrients 🔬 Check it out 👉 tinyurl.com/3vc756dv

The website for next year's symposium on 'ENS development, function and repair' is online! Please visit ens-leuven2026.eu and mark your 📆 Updates and more information will follow soon. We hope to see you next April in Leuven 🇧🇪 with your most exciting #ENS science! @pietervandenberghe.bsky.social
