The serotonin signaling system: from basic understanding to drug development for functional GI disorders.
- M. Gershon, J. Tack
- Medicine
- Gastroenterology
- 2007
Serotonin is an important gastrointestinal signaling molecule. It is a paracrine messenger utilized by enterochromaffin (EC) cells, which function as sensory transducers. Serotonin activates… Expand
Molecular defects in mucosal serotonin content and decreased serotonin reuptake transporter in ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome.
- M. Coates, C. R. Mahoney, +8 authors P. Moses
- Medicine
- Gastroenterology
- 1 June 2004
BACKGROUND & AIMS
Serotonin (5-HT) is a critical signaling molecule in the gut. 5-HT released from enterochromaffin cells initiates peristaltic, secretory, vasodilatory, vagal, and nociceptive… Expand

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are common and clinically heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorders. Gastrointestinal disorders and associated symptoms are commonly reported in individuals with… Expand
Review article: serotonin receptors and transporters — roles in normal and abnormal gastrointestinal motility
- M. Gershon
- Medicine
- Alimentary pharmacology & therapeutics
- 1 November 2004
The gut is the only organ that can display reflexes and integrative neuronal activity even when isolated from the central nervous system. This activity can be triggered by luminal stimuli that are… Expand
Maternal serotonin is crucial for murine embryonic development
- F. Côté, C. Fligny, +4 authors G. Vodjdani
- Medicine, Biology
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 2 January 2007
The early appearance of serotonin and its receptors during prenatal development, together with the many effects serotonin exerts during CNS morphogenesis, strongly suggest that serotonin influences… Expand
5-HT4 Receptor-Mediated Neuroprotection and Neurogenesis in the Enteric Nervous System of Adult Mice
- M. Liu, Yung-Hui Kuan, J. Wang, R. Hen, M. Gershon
- Medicine, Biology
- The Journal of Neuroscience
- 5 August 2009
Although the mature enteric nervous system (ENS) has been shown to retain stem cells, enteric neurogenesis has not previously been demonstrated in adults. The relative number of enteric neurons in… Expand

- 15 June 2003
Vagal neural crest-derived precursors of the enteric nervous system colonize the bowel by descending within the enteric mesenchyme. Perpendicular secondary migration, toward the mucosa and into the… Expand
Long-lived intestinal tuft cells serve as colon cancer-initiating cells.
