This study shows that Ret loss-of-function in mouse embryos reduces enteric neural crest progenitor proliferation and limits neuronal fate potential during ENS development.

This study shows that age-related changes in the lineage composition of the enteric nervous system affect gut health, with mesoderm-derived neurons becoming dominant and functional effects on intestinal motility that can be reversed by GDNF.

This study shows that prenatal immune stress leads to long-term reduced microglia activation, affecting striatal connectivity and neuronal function.
