Article Abstract
In the body, nerve tissue is not only present in the central nervous system, but also in the periphery. The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a highly organized intrinsic network of neurons and glial cells grouped to form interconnected ganglia. Glial cells in the ENS are a fascinating cell population: their neurotrophic role is well established, as well as their plasticity in specific circumstances. Gene expression profiling studies indicate that ENS glia retain neurogenic potential. The identification of neurogenic glial subtype(s) and the molecular basis of glia-derived neurogenesis may have profound biological and clinical implications. In this review, we discuss the potential of using gene-editing for ENS glia and cell transplantation as therapies for enteric neuropathies. Glia in the ENS: target or tool for nerve tissue repair?

Purpose: To reassess the anatomic basis of optic disc pit maculopathy (OPM) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and to characterize the broader structural abnormalities comprising the optic pit complex.
Methods: Sixteen patients with OPM were imaged using a high-resolution SS-OCT system (DREAM OCT). Cross-sectional and volume-rendered scans were analyzed for lamina cribrosa defects, intraneural cavitations, and pathways for fluid entry into or beneath the retina.

Morphogenetic information arises from a combination of genetically encoded cellular properties and emergent cellular behaviors. The spatio-temporal implementation of this information is critical to ensure robust, reproducible tissue shapes, yet the principles underlying its organization remain unknown. We investigated this principle using the mouse auditory epithelium, the organ of Corti (OC).

This study investigates the relationship between serum nesfatin-1 level and clinical parameters such as pain intensity, disease activity, anxiety, depression, sleep quality, and quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Eighty-two FMS cases and 82 control patients, aged between 18 to 65, were included in this cross-sectional study. The Visual Analog Scale, Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Short Form-36 were used to analyze the patients.

Objectives: Teaching dental anesthesia techniques poses a considerable challenge, primarily due to the limited availability of tools that effectively replicate clinical procedures in preclinical settings. Over the past decade, haptic dental simulators have emerged as promising training aids for various dental procedures, including local anesthesia. This study aimed to evaluate the educational value of a haptic dental simulator in teaching the inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) technique by assessing the experiences and perceptions of dental students with varying levels of clinical exposure.
