Ex vivo neurogenesis within enteric ganglia occurs in a PTEN dependent manner.

Ex vivo neurogenesis within enteric ganglia occurs in a PTEN dependent manner.

A population of multipotent stem cells capable of differentiating into neurons and glia has been isolated from adult intestine in humans and rodents. While these cells may provide a pool of stem cells for neurogenesis in the enteric nervous system (ENS), such a function has been difficult to demonst...
