High contrast
Intestinal motility can be of immense impact in children. Congenital malformations or intestinal disease in neonates and young children can lead to severe problems in intestinal function including malabsorption, diarrhea or obstipation. A main focus of the intestinal motility group is Hirschsprung`s Disease and Hirschsprung associated enterocolitis (HAEC). Following the study on neuro-immune interactions in the gut, the group focuses now on how morphological aspects of the intestine interact with the functional aspects in the patient as well as on new functional models for this disease. A further research topic focuses on ameliorating the massive clinical issues resulting from short bowel syndrome. This includes work on a patients› registry as well as experimental approaches on elongation of the intestine.
