Identification of the interstitial cells of Cajal.
Observation of whole mount stretch preparations using the zinc-iodide-osmic acid method reveals a wide variety of interstitial cells in different tissue layers of the guinea-pig small intestine. And a subsequent electron-microscopic examination and survey of references makes clear that the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) depicted in original drawings

Reduction of Interstitial Cells of Cajal in Esophageal Atresia
ABSTRACTObjectives:Postrepair esophageal dysmotility and gastroesophageal reflux are well‐known consequences in patients with congenital esophageal atresia (EA) with or without distal tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). The interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), considered the intestinal pacemaker, are altered in congenital diseases with abnormal peristalsis,

The importance of interstitial cells of cajal in the gastrointestinal tract
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.

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

The effect of high [K(+)]o on spontaneous Ca(2+) waves in freshly isolated interstitial cells of Cajal from the rabbit urethra. [PDF]
Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) act as putative pacemaker cells in the rabbit urethra. Pacemaker activity in ICC results from spontaneous global Ca(2+) waves that can be increased in frequency by raising external [K(+)].
