Enteric glial cell diversification is influenced by spatiotemporal factors and source of neural progenitors in mice

Abstract excerpt

Previously focused primarily on enteric neurons, studies of the enteric nervous system (ENS) in both health and disease are now broadening to recognize the equally significant role played by enteric glial cells (EGCs). Commensurate to the vast array of gastrointestinal functions they influence, EGCs exhibit considerable diversity in terms of location, morphology, molecular profiles, and functional attributes....
