Changes in the ECM adhesion receptor repertoire of ENC cells modulate their colonization of the developing gut. ENC are revealed by Xgal staining in blue. In control mice at E16.5, the midgut (a) and distal colon (c) are colonized by ENS cells, whereas when ENC cells lack β1-integrins, the midgut is colonized (b) in a disorganized way and the distal colon is not colonized (d).
