Ca 2+ signalling in urethral interstitial cells of Cajal [PDF]
, 2006 Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in the urethra have been proposed as specialized pacemakers that are involved in the generation of urethral tone and therefore the maintenance of urinary continence.

Ca2+ signalling behaviours of intramuscular interstitial cells of Cajal in the murine colon
Journal of Physiology, 2019 Colonic intramuscular interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC‐IM) exhibit spontaneous Ca2+ transients manifesting as stochastic events from multiple firing sites with propagating Ca2+ waves occasionally observed.

Mapping the variability of in vivo rat uterine electrical properties throughout the oestrous cycle
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract After reaching sexual maturity, uterine function is driven by cyclical variations in hormone levels. The electrical and mechanical activity in the uterus varies during the menstrual cycle, contributing to essential functions such as sperm transport and shedding the menstrual lining.

Journal of Pharmacopuncture, 2013 Objective: Pyungwi-san (PWS) plays a role in a number of physiologic and pharmacologic functions in many organs. Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) are pacemaker cells that generate slow waves in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Cells and conductances contributing to spontaneous activity in the lower urinary tract. Bladder and urethra exhibit spontaneous contractions at both cellular and tissue levels. Both detrusor and urethral smooth muscle cells display activity that is regular and rhythmic.

Intestinal Electric Stimulation Accelerates Whole Gut Transit and Promotes Fat Excrement in Conscious Rats [PDF]
, 2009 *_Introduction:_* Intestinal electric stimulation (IES) is proposed as a potential tool for the treatment of morbid obesity. Our previous study showed that IES with one pair of electrodes accelerated intestinal transit and decreased fat absorption in a ...

An update on pacemaking in the myometrium
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend The spread of multiple electrical signals (panel A, blue‐to‐red indicates increasing electrical excitability) that are spatiotemporally distinct, yet in‐phase with the excitatory episode, determines action potential shape and form (panel B, as recorded by single cell microelectrodes) and ensures contractile amplitude and duration

Na+/Ca2 + Exchange and Pacemaker Activity of Interstitial Cells of Cajal
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are pacemaker cells that generate electrical slow waves in gastrointestinal (GI) smooth muscles. Slow waves organize basic motor patterns, such as peristalsis and segmentation in the GI tract.

DEN Open, Volume 6, Issue 1, April 2026.ABSTRACT Gastroparesis is a chronic gastric motility disorder marked by delayed gastric emptying in the absence of mechanical obstruction. For patients with symptoms refractory to medical and dietary therapy, Gastric Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (G‐POEM) has emerged as a minimally invasive, pylorus‐targeted intervention that directly addresses pyloric ...
