Abstract:
While the enteric nervous system (ENS) is highly dynamic during development, the extent to which it is capable of repair remains unclear. In this issue of Neuron, Stavely et al.1 show that enteric neurons can reinnervate damaged regions to regain functionality using a glial positioning system (GPS) as their guide.
