Abstract excerpt
Transient catecholaminergic (TC) cells have been found to appear in the vagal pathway and bowel of fetal mice and rats. It has been proposed that these cells are migrating vagal crest-derived precursors of enteric neurons that lose their catecholaminergic properties when they terminally differentiate. In the current experiments, segments of fetal mouse gut were explanted before (day E9) TC cells or any neural...
