Carbachol induces TGF-alpha expression and colonic epithelial cell proliferation in sensory-desensitised rats

## Abstract We have previously shown that the receptor for substance P (SP), neurokinin‐1 receptor (NK‐1R), is a marker of human mucosal but not peripheral mononuclear cells. In the present study, we investigate NK‐1R expression in the human colonic mucosa in vivo, particularly in the epithelial ce
