Differential sensitivity  of pre-ENCCs and ENCCs to γ-irradiation. Cryosections at the level of the foregut of E10.0 Wnt1Cre|EYFP control embryos (a–d), Wnt1Cre|EYFP embryos 2 hours (e–h), or 5 hours (i–l) following exposure to IR, immunostained for GFP (green) and processed for TUNEL (red). Green and red arrows indicate the area of pre-ENCCs and ENCCs, respectively, magnified within a colour-matched frame. m, Quantification of GFP+ pre-ENCCs and ENCCs that are undergoing apoptosis (TUNEL+). Paired t-test between pre-ENCCs and ENCCs within each group, *P value < 0.05. One-way ANOVA followed by Fisher’s LSD multiple comparison test between the pre-ENCCs or the ENCCs of the three groups, ***P value < 0.001, ****P value < 0.0001. Scale bars: (a–b, e–f, i–j) 100 μm, (c–d, g–h, k–l) 25 μm
