A new model of chronic visceral hypersensitivity in adult rats induced by colon irritation during postnatal development.
BACKGROUND & AIMS The irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder characterized by abdominal pain in the setting of altered perception of viscerosensory stimuli. This so-called visceral… Expand

Ano1 is a selective marker of interstitial cells of Cajal in the human and mouse gastrointestinal tract.
Populations of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are altered in several gastrointestinal neuromuscular disorders. ICC are identified typically by ultrastructure and expression of Kit (CD117), a… Expand

Identification of a cKit(+) colonic crypt base secretory cell that supports Lgr5(+) stem cells in mice.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Paneth cells contribute to the small intestinal niche of Lgr5(+) stem cells. Although the colon also contains Lgr5(+) stem cells, it does not contain Paneth cells. We investigated… Expand

Intrasphincteric botulinum toxin for the treatment of achalasia.
BACKGROUND Achalasia is a disorder of swallowing in which the lower esophageal sphincter fails to relax. We report the use of botulinum toxin, a paralytic agent, for the treatment of this condition.… Expand

The vanilloid receptor initiates and maintains colonic hypersensitivity induced by neonatal colon irritation in rats.
BACKGROUND & AIMS Robust chemical or mechanical irritation of the colon of neonatal rats leads to chronic visceral hypersensitivity. The clinical and physiologic relevance of such noxious stimulation… Expand
