eLife Assessment This important study characterizes the molecular signatures and function of a type of enteric neuron (IPAN) in the mouse colon, identifying molecular markers (Cdh6 and Cdh8) for these cells. A battery of compelling and comprehensive experimental findings suggests data from other species are likely translatable to mice, bridging the abundant literature from humans and other mammals into this experimentally tractable animal model.
