Distraction Enterogenesis Induces Desert Hedgehog in the Lengthened Murine Colon

Abstract

Distraction enterogenesis lengthens the intestine through applied mechanical stress. The Hedgehog pathway (Hh) is responsible for intestinal tract development and directing the multi-layer patterning of the intestinal lumen. This study investigates the alteration in the principal components of this pathway in spring-mediated colonic lengthening.
