Migratory cells to ganglionated network: self-organization of the enteric nervous system

肠道有自己的神经系统。这是由细胞在早期发育期间漫游到肠道并自我组织形成功能性神经系统发展而来的。这种神经系统细胞的正确组织是正确的肠功能所必需的。它们是如何自我组织的尚不清楚，而且在一些疾病中，这一过程受到了干扰。分子和细胞生物学以及数学建模将被用来理解这是如何发生的。

The intestine has its own nervous system. This develops from cells that wander into the intestine during early development and self-organize to form the functional nervous system . The correct organization of the cells of this nervous system is required for correct intestine function. How they self-organize is not known, and there are diseases in which the process is disturbed. Molecular and cell biology and mathematical modelling will be used to understand how this occurs.
