摘要: Enteric glia are important components of the enteric nervous system (ENS) and also form an extensive network in mucosa gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Initially regarded as passive support cells, it is now clear that they actively involved cellular integrators control motility epithelial barrier function. a molecular bridge between nerves, enteroendocrine immune depending on their location. This Review highlights role GI disorders defense functions gut, notably states inflammation. It discusses involvement neurological diseases involve
