Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to elucidate the possibility and the biological significance of intracolonic grafting of neuroepithelial stem cells (NESCs) as a therapeutic strategy for neuronal replacement in disorders of the enteric nervous system (ENS) such as aganglionosis. The enteric plexus of rat colon were eliminated by serosal application of the cationic surfactant benzalkonium chloride. NESCs were...
