The importance of interstitial cells of cajal in the gastrointestinal tract

The Saudi Journal of Gastroenterology, 2013
Gastrointestinal (GI) motility function and its regulation is a complex process involving collaboration and communication of multiple cell types such as enteric neurons, interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), and smooth muscle cells.

A developmental and genetic classification for malformations of cortical development: update 2012. [PDF]

, 2012
Malformations of cerebral cortical development include a wide range of developmental disorders that are common causes of neurodevelopmental delay and epilepsy. In addition, study of these disorders contributes greatly to the understanding of normal brain

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.

Interstitial Cells of Cajal : Pathology, injury and repair

Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal, 2012
Interstitial cells of cajal (ICC) are specialised cells located within the musculature of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Although they form only 5% of the cells in the musculature of the GIT, they play a critical role in regulating smooth muscle ...

Profile of interstitial cells of Cajal in a murine model of chagasic megacolon [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Disorders of gastrointestinal motility are the major physiologic problem in chagasic megacolon. The contraction mechanism is complex and controlled by different cell types such as enteric neurons, smooth muscle, telocytes, and an important pacemaker of ...

Cells and ionic conductances contributing to spontaneous activity in bladder and urethral smooth muscle

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.

Anomalias da inervação do trato digestório de fetos de ratas expostas à etilenotioureia [PDF]

, 2012
PURPOSE: The pathophysiology of abnormalities associated with myenteric plexus lesions remains imperfectly understood. Such abnormalities have been correlated with subocclusive intestinal conditions in children with Hirschsprung's disease, cases of ...

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

Identification of Risk Factors in Postoperative Urinary Dysfunction for Rectal Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 1243-1252, November 2025.
Our study aimed to identify the incidence of risk factors for postoperative urinary dysfunction during surgery for rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumors. ABSTRACT Aim Curative resection and organ preservation are important to manage rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumors; however, postoperative quality of life, including urinary function, remains a ...

The enteric nervous system : new developments and emerging concepts [PDF]

, 2011
The enteric nervous system (ENS) is an integrative neuronal network, organized in two ganglionated plexuses, myenteric and submucosal, composed of neurons and enteric glial cells, controlling the activity of the smooth muscle of the gut, mucosal ...
