ENS lineage potential is not intrinsically regionalized but is modulated by PTPRZ1 signaling

Ali Kalantari, Ophir D. Klein, Zev J. Gartner, Faranak Fattahi

The paper shows the enteric nervous system (ENS) lacks intrinsic regionalization but is shaped by PTPRZ1 signaling from the gut microenvironment during development.

Patterning and folding of intestinal villi by active mesenchymal dewetting

Tyler R. Huycke, Teemu J. Häkkinen, Hikaru Miyazaki, Vasudha Srivastava, Emilie Barruet, Christopher S. McGinnis, Ali Kalantari, Jake Cornwall-Scoones, Dedeepya Vaka, Qin Zhu, Hyunil Jo, Roger Oria, Valerie Marie Weaver, William F. DeGrado, Matt W. Thomson, , Zev J. Gartner

This study identifies an active mechanical mechanism involving PDGFRA+ mesenchymal cells that pattern and fold intestinal villi through myosin II-dependent forces and matrix metalloproteinase-mediated tissue fluidization.

hPSC-Derived Enteric Ganglioids Model Human ENS Development and Function

Homa Majd, Ryan M. Samuel, Jonathan T. Ramirez, Ali Kalantari, Kevin Barber, Zaniar Ghazizadeh, Angeline K Chemel, Andrius Cesiulis, Mikayla N Richter, Subhamoy Das, Matthew G. Keefe, Jeffrey Wang, Rahul K Shiv, Conor J. McCann, Samyukta Bhat, , Faranak Fattahi

This study develops hPSC-derived enteric ganglioids to model human ENS development and function, identifying drug candidates and PDGFR inhibition as key factors in NO neuron specification.
