Abstract excerpt
The largest part of the peripheral nervous system is the enteric nervous system (ENS). It consists of an intricate network of several enteric neuronal subclasses with distinct phenotypes and functions within the gut wall. The generation of these enteric phenotypes is dependent upon appropriate neurotrophic support during development. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and fibroblast growth...
