Adding data to gut feelings

Research output: Contribution to journalComment / DebateOtherpeer-review

Abstract

Pain-sensing neurons detect environmental insults and tissue injury, driving avoidance behavior and the local release of neuropeptides. Two related papers in this issue of Cell report that gut-innervating pain neurons sense bacterial presence to both shape the constituents of the gut microbiome and protect against excessive inflammation.
