Bugs, guts, and glia: how microbiota influence enteric gliogenesis and migration

Meenakshi Rao et al. Neuron. .

Abstract

Enteric glia are neural crest derivatives. Kabouridis et al. (2015) now show in adult animals that new glia arise within the ganglia of enteric plexuses and then migrate centripetally to colonize the mucosa. Remarkably, enteric microbiota regulate this critical migration.
