The second and third trimesters of pregnancy are crucial for the anatomical and functional
development of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. If premature birth occurs, the immaturity of the …

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 sympathetic, parasympathetic and enteric ganglia are the main components of the
peripheral autonomic nervous system, and are all derived from the neural crest. The factors …

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 enteric nervous system (ENS) in mammals forms from neural crest cells during
embryogenesis and early postnatal life. Nevertheless, multipotent progenitors of the ENS …

The enteric nervous system (ENS), the intrinsic innervation of the gastrointestinal tract,
consists of numerous types of neurons, and glial cells, that are distributed in two …

The variety of diseases caused by mutations in RET receptor tyrosine kinase provides a
classic example of phenotypic heterogeneity. Gain-of-function mutations of RET are …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is essential for digestive function and gut homeostasis.
Here we show that the amorphous neuroglia networks of the mouse ENS are composed of …

The enteric nervous system (ENS), the intrinsic innervation of the gastrointestinal tract, is an
essential component of the gut neuromusculature and controls many aspects of gut function …

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a rich network of neurons and glial cells that comprise
the gastrointestinal tract's intrinsic nervous system and are responsible for controlling …
