Both specialized mechanosensing cells, such as certain enterochromaffin cells and enteric neurons, and non-specialized cells, such as smooth muscle cells, interstitial cells of Cajal, and resident macrophages, participate in physiological and pathological responses to mechanical signals in the gastrointestinal tract. We review the role of mechanosensors in the different cell types of the gastrointestinal tract. Then, we provide several examples of the role of mechanotransduction in normal physiology. These examples highlight the fact that, although these responses to mechanical signals have been known for decades, the mechanosensors involved in these responses to mechanical signals are largely unknown. Finally, we discuss several diseases involving the overstimulation or dysregulation of mechanotransductive pathways. Understanding these pathways and identifying the mechanosensors involved in these diseases may facilitate the identification of new drug targets to effectively treat these diseases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms24010177","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,22]],"date-time":"2022-12-22T03:24:30Z","timestamp":1671679470000},"page":"177","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Mechanosensing in the Physiology and Pathology of the Gastrointestinal Tract"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Job Baffin","family":"Kola","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Chemistry, Faculty of Medicine, University of Debrecen, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"},{"name":"Center of Excellence, The Hungarian Academy of Sciences, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tibor","family":"Docsa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Chemistry, Faculty of Medicine, University of Debrecen, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"},{"name":"Center of Excellence, The Hungarian Academy of Sciences, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6997-459X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karen","family":"Uray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Chemistry, Faculty of Medicine, University of Debrecen, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"},{"name":"Center of Excellence, The Hungarian Academy of Sciences, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"283","DOI":"10.1038\/s41575-021-00561-y","article-title":"Gut feelings: Mechanosensing in the gastrointestinal tract","volume":"19","author":"Beyder","year":"2022","journal-title":"Nat.
