Pelvic plexus contributes ganglion cells to the hindgut enteric nervous systemNandor Nagy
Department of Pediatric Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02114, USA
Dev Dyn 236:73-83. 2007..These results demonstrate that the pelvic plexus, and not the NoR, serves as the staging area for sacral crest-derived cells to enter the avian hindgut, confirming the evolutionary conservation of this important embryologic process...
BMPRIA is a promising marker for evaluating ganglion cells in the enteric nervous system--a pilot studyKatherine C Brewer

Institut de Genetique Humaine, UPR 1142 CNRS, Montpellier, France
Dev Dyn 234:312-22. 2005..These results demonstrate that BMP signaling is activated in all the tissue layers of the GI tract during the development and plays a role during interactions and reciprocal communications of these tissue layers...
Research Grants
- BMP signaling in enteric nervous system developmentALLAN GOLDSTEIN; Fiscal Year: 2007....
- Gdnf and endothelin-3 regulate colorectal enteric nervous system developmentAllan M Goldstein; Fiscal Year: 2010..The goal of this proposal is to understand the mechanisms that control development of the intestinal nervous system in order to improve our ability to diagnose and treat children born with these chronic and disabling conditions. ..
