Human enteric nervous system progenitor transplantation improves functional responses in Hirschsprung disease patient-derived tissue
30 May 2024
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a severe congenital disorder affecting 1:5000 live births. HSCR results from the failure of enteric nervous system (ENS) progenitors to fully colonise the gastrointestinal tract during embryonic development.
