hPSC-derived Sacral Neural Crest Enables Rescue in a Severe Model of Hirschsprung’s Disease [RNA-seq]

Default Boolean Operator: Terms in a search string will be connected by the AND operator, EXAMPLE: searching genomic melanoma will produce the same results as genomic AND melanoma .
AND, OR, NOT: Combine terms in a search with the boolean operators AND (to add specificity), OR (to broaden), or NOT (to eliminate a term). Operators must be capitalized (all other search terms are not case-sensitive).
Wild Card: Add wild card symbols * (open-ended) and ? (single character) to truncate terms. EXAMPLE: searching gen* shows results for 'gene', 'genetic', 'genomic, etc. Searching gene? returns results for 'gene' or 'genes' but not for 'genome'.
Phrase Searching: Enclose search in quotation marks "keyword or search term" to search for an exact phrase. EXAMPLE: "transcription factors" returns results for records where transcription is immediately followed by the word factors .
Diacritics: Words containing diacritics translate those characters to non-diacritic form. EXAMPLE: massague returns results for Massague&#769 .
Filter by: Located on the homepage (left panel), use filters to search for records or narrow the search. From search results page, filters can be removed by clicking on the term at the top of the page.

Description: Summary from GEO:

"The enteric nervous system (ENS) is derived from both the vagal and sacral component of the neural crest (NC). Here, we present the derivation of sacral ENS precursors from human PSCs via timed exposure to FGF, WNT and to GDF11 to enable posterior patterning and transition from posterior trunk to sacral NC identity respectively. Using a SOX2::H2B-tdTomato/ T::H2B-GFP dual reporter hPSC line, we demonstrate that both trunk and sacral NC emerge from a double-positive neuro-mesodermal progenitor (NMP). Vagal and sacral NC precursors yield distinct neuronal subtypes and migratory behaviors in vitro and in vivo. Remarkably, xenografting of both vagal and sacral NC lineages is required to rescue a mouse model of total aganglionosis, suggesting novel opportunities in the treatment of severe forms of Hirschsprung’s disease."

Overall design from GEO:

"RNA seq data and ATAC seq data of a series of samples collected at different time points, comparing cells treated with or without GDF11."
