The Marklund Lab - Enteric Neurobiology

Table of Contents NN-71713B NMUTOMPGP9_edited.jpg

Research

The Marklund lab focuses on cell diversity in the Enteric Nervous System. By determining the variety of ENS cell subtypes, the functions they normally serve and their developmental specification we aim to improve diagnostic and therapeutic principles for gut disorders. The lab addresses these basic but critical questions by transcriptome analysis coupled with viral-based activity/gene manipulations primarily using the mouse model.

Review:

Diversity, development and immunoregulation of enteric neurons

Nature Review Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2022

PMID: 34773107

In this review I summarise key advances in enteric neuroscience in 2021. Morarach et al presented a molecular definition of enteric neuron classes (ENCs) and and a new model for their embryonic specification. Elmentaite et al published a comprehensive gut cell atlas including the developing ENS and its surrounding cell types. Yan et al discovered a role for the ENS in tuning regulatory T-cells.
