Current opinion in genetics & development, 1999•ElsevierThe mammalian enteric nervous system is derived from neural crest cells which invade the
foregut and hindgut mesenchyme. It has been established that signalling molecules
produced by the mesenchyme of the gut wall play a critical role in the development of the
mammalian enteric nervous system. Recent studies have characterised further the role of
such molecules and have identified novel extracellular and intracellular signals that are
critical for enteric ganglia formation.
