The enteric nervous system (ENS) is the largest division of the peripheral nervous system
and closely resembles components and functions of the central nervous system. Although …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is comprised of a network of neurons and glial cells that
are responsible for coordinating many aspects of gastrointestinal (GI) function. These cells …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) of the gastrointestinal tract controls many diverse
functions, including motility and epithelial permeability. Perturbations in ENS development …

The neural crest (NC) is a highly migratory multipotent cell population that forms at the
interface between the neuroepithelium and the prospective epidermis of a develo** …

A targeted effort to identify novel neurotrophic factors for midbrain dopaminergic neurons
resulted in the isolation of GDNF (glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor) from the …

The enteric nervous system is the part of the autonomic nervous system that directly controls
the gastrointestinal tract. Derived from a multipotent, migratory cell population called the …

The neural crest is a multipotent, migratory cell population that is unique to vertebrate
embryos and gives rise to many derivatives, ranging from the peripheral nervous system to …

Evidence for the presence of the vitamin D receptor in brain implies this vitamin may have
some function in this organ. This study investigates whether vitamin D3 acts during brain …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) provides the intrinsic innervation of the bowel and is the
most neurochemically diverse branch of the peripheral nervous system, consisting of two …

The neural crest (NC) yields pluripotent cells endowed with migratory properties. They give
rise to neurons, glia, melanocytes and endocrine cells, and to diversemesenchymal' …
