However, mice whose Piezo1 gene was turned off had no such increase in intestinal motility, suggesting the gene senses the increased intestinal pressure from exercise. Inflammatory bowel disease ...

These mice had bowel movements after just 10 minutes ... Thus, he hypothesized, the inflammation caused by IBD might spur Piezo1 to cause enteric neurons to generate excess acetylcholine in ...

In contrast, mice lacking functional PIEZO1 genes showed no such increase, suggesting that PIEZO1 translates physical pressure into intestinal responses. PIEZO1 affects immune response in IBD models ...

Wear and tear on plastic products releases small to nearly invisible plastic particles, which could impact people's health when consumed or inhaled. To make these particles biodegradable, researchers ...
