The development of the enteric nervous system was examined in fetal mice. Synthesis of
[3H] acetylcholine ([3H] ACh) from [3H] choline and acetylcholinesterase histochemistry …

The hypothesis was tested that developing enteric neurons withdraw from the cell cycle in a
sequence related to their phenotype. The birthdays of immunocytochemically identified …

The mature enteric nervous system (ENS) is characterized by a degree of neuronal
phenotypic diversity and independence of central nervous system control unequaled by any …

In order to gain insight into the process of colonization of the bowel by the neural crest-
derived precursors of enteric neurons, the development of the enteric nervous system was …

The development of peptidergic neurons was analyzed in the murine bowel. Neurons,
detected immunocytochemically with antisera to substance P (SP) and vasoactive intestinal …

The neurones and glial cells of the enteric nervous system (ENS) are derived from the
neural crest (fig 1). While they are migrating, neural crest cells are morphologically …

We have developed procedures for dissociating neurons from the myenteric plexus of the
small intestine of newborn rats and for growing those neurons in cell cultures for up to 3 …

The enteric nervous system is large, complex, and independent of the CNS. Its neural-crest-
derived precursors migrate along defined pathways to colonize the bowel. Recent studies of …

The maintenance of differentiated properties and survival rates of enteric neurons, grown in
explant cultures for periods of up to 3 weeks, was studied. Using catecholamine …

This paper describes methods for removing the ganglionated myenteric and submucous
plexuses from the mammalian gut and maintaining them as explants in tissue culture. A …
