The importance of interstitial cells of cajal in the gastrointestinal tract

open access: yesThe 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.

Interstitial Cells of Cajal [PDF]

open access: yesPancreas, 2011
Ramon y Cajal discovered interstitial cells in the pancreas associated with intrinsic nerves. It was our aim to provide evidence for or against the hypothesis that the pancreatic duct harbors interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) that may function as pacemakers for duct motility.We used immunohistochemistry using c-Kit as the ICC marker and protein gene ...

Hyperplasia of interstitial cells of cajal in sprouty homolog 4 deficient mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors, which are thought to derive from interstitial cells of Cajal or their precursors, often harbor an oncogenic mutation of the KIT receptor tyrosine kinase.

Pathophysiological Implications of Interstitial Cajal-like Cells (ICC-like) in Uterus: A Comparative Study with Gastrointestinal ICCs

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023
The main function of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) is to regulate gastrointestinal peristalsis by acting as a “pacemaker” cell by generating spontaneous slow electrical waves.

Sporadic Congenital Hyperplasia of Interstitial Cell of Cajal of Rectum as a Cause of Chronic Constipation [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Colorectal Research, 2013
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the usual primary mesenchymal neoplasms of the GI tract. Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) are intestinal pacemaker cells that instigate peristalsis in the stomach and intestine, and are measured to be ...

Interstitial cells of Cajal in the urethra [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, 2006
The smooth muscle layer of the urethra generates spontaneous myogenic tone that is thought to make a major contribution to urinary continence. The mechanisms underlying generation of tone remain unclear, however recent studies from our laboratory highlighted a role for a specialised population of pacemaker cells which we originally referred to as ...

Interstitial cells of Cajal in pancreas [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, 2005
We show here (presumably for the first time) a special type of cell in the human and rat exocrine pancreas. These cells have phenotypic characteristics of the enteric interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC). To identify pancreatic interstitial cells of Cajal (pICC) we used routine light microscopy, non-conventional light microscopy (less than 1 mum semi-thin
