Topic overview
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.
