METHOD FOR PRODUCING ENTERIC NEURAL PRECURSORS

Abstract:

A method for producing enteric neural precursors, comprising the steps of: (1) providing enteric neural precursors; and (2) culturing the enteric neural precursors in a medium comprising an ERBB3 agonist and/or an ERBB4 agonist is provided as a technique for allowing enteric neural precursors to proliferate by culture while maintaining their differentiation capacity into enteric nerve cells and glial cells.
