Abstract excerpt
Our study investigates the innervation of the respiratory tract during mouse embryonic development, with a focus on the identification of cell origin and essential developmental signals for the resident, or intrinsic, neurons. Using lineage tracing, we show that these intrinsic neurons are exclusively derived from neural crest cells, and cluster to form ganglia that reside in the dorsal trachea and medial bronchi...
