Open AccessGene expression of muscular and neuronal pathways is cooperatively dysregulated in patients with idiopathic achalasia
Idiopathic achalasia is characterized by the absence of peristalsis secondary to loss of neurons in the myenteric plexus that hampers proper relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. Achalasia can be consi...
