Magnetic resonance imaging as a non-invasive tool to assess gastric emptying in mice.

  • Marta Chavero-Pieres‎ et al.

  • 2023‎

Methods to study gastric emptying in rodents are time consuming or terminal, preventing repetitive assessment in the same animal. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive technique increasingly used to investigate gastrointestinal function devoid of these shortcomings. Here, we evaluated MRI to measure gastric emptying in control animals and in two different models of gastroparesis.


Self-Maintaining Gut Macrophages Are Essential for Intestinal Homeostasis.

  • Sebastiaan De Schepper‎ et al.
  • Cell‎
  • 2018‎

Macrophages are highly heterogeneous tissue-resident immune cells that perform a variety of tissue-supportive functions. The current paradigm dictates that intestinal macrophages are continuously replaced by incoming monocytes that acquire a pro-inflammatory or tissue-protective signature. Here, we identify a self-maintaining population of macrophages that arise from both embryonic precursors and adult bone marrow-derived monocytes and persists throughout adulthood. Gene expression and imaging studies of self-maintaining macrophages revealed distinct transcriptional profiles that reflect their unique localization (i.e., closely positioned to blood vessels, submucosal and myenteric plexus, Paneth cells, and Peyer's patches). Depletion of self-maintaining macrophages resulted in morphological abnormalities in the submucosal vasculature and loss of enteric neurons, leading to vascular leakage, impaired secretion, and reduced intestinal motility. These results provide critical insights in intestinal macrophage heterogeneity and demonstrate the strategic role of self-maintaining macrophages in gut homeostasis and intestinal physiology.

    Here is the search term that is being executed, you can type in anything you want to search for. Some tips to help searching:

    1. Use quotes around phrases you want to match exactly
    2. You can manually AND and OR terms to change how we search between words
    3. You can add "-" to terms to make sure no results return with that term in them (ex. Cerebellum -CA1)
    4. You can add "+" to terms to require they be in the data
    5. Using autocomplete specifies which branch of our semantics you with to search and can help refine your search
