Molecular regulatory mechanism of TRPV4-mediated calcium-dependent 5-HT secretion from enterochromaffin cells and its involvement in ulcerative colitis

Although acetylcholine (ACh) released by the vagus nerve can stimulate enterochromaffin cells (ECs) to secrete 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), the precise regulatory mechanism underlying this process and its association with the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC) remain unclear....
