Abstract
The presently disclosed subject matter provides for in vitro methods of inducing differentiation of stem cells into enteric neural crest lineage cells, and enteric neural crest lineage cells by such methods. The presently disclosed subject matter also provides for uses of such enteric neural crest lineage cells for preventing and/or treating enteric nervous system disorders (e.g, Hirschsprung's disease), and for screening compounds suitable for preventing and/or treating enteric nervous system disorders (e.g., Hirschsprung's disease).
