Why are enteric ganglia so small? Role of differential adhesion of enteric neurons and enteric neural crest cells. [v1; ref status: indexed, https://f1000r.es/59q]
Benjamin N. Rollo, Dongcheng Zhang, Johanna E. Simkin, Trevelyan R. Menheniott, Donald F. Newgreen

“Here we describe cell-cell adhesion molecules in the ENS, and the roles of cell-cell adhesion in aggregation tests in vitro. In particular we wished to explore why the ENS ganglia are similar and small in size and why the initial cell disposition in ganglia has the pattern of central neurons surrounded by ENC progenitor cells.”
