Currently available therapies for gastrointestinal motility conditions are often inadequate.
Recent scientific advances, however, have facilitated the identification of neural stem cells
as novel tools for cellular replenishment. Such cells can be generated from a number of
tissue sources including the gut itself. Neural stem cells can readily be harvested from
postnatal human gut including by conventional endoscopy, and in experimental
transplantation studies appear capable of generating a neo-Enteric Nervous System …
