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

Iranian 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 ...

A New Paradigm Shift in Gastroparesis Management

Gut and Liver, 2022
Gastroparesis, once regarded as a rare disease, is difficult to diagnose and challenging to treat; there were many breakthrough advances in the 2010s, shifting the paradigm of the understanding of this complex entity and its management.

Cells derived from the coelomic epithelium contribute to multiple gastrointestinal tissues in mouse embryos. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Gut mesodermal tissues originate from the splanchnopleural mesenchyme. However, the embryonic gastrointestinal coelomic epithelium gives rise to mesenchymal cells, whose significance and fate are little known.

Anoctamin 1 and c-Kit immunohistochemical study of interstitial cells of Cajal in the muscularis externa of human gastrointestinal tract

Folia Morphologica, 2023
BACKGROUND: Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are widely distributed in human gastrointestinal (GI) tract, especially in the layer of muscularis externa between neurons and smooth muscles.

Variations in the Density and Distribution of Cajal Like Cells Associated With the Pathogenesis of Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Frontiers in Surgery, 2021
Introduction: Cajal like cells (CLCs) in the upper urinary tract have an ability to generate coordinated spontaneous action potentials and are hypothesized to help propel urine from renal pelvis into the ureter.

Telocyte and Cajal cell distribution in renal pelvis, ureteropelvic junction (UPJ), and proximal ureter in normal upper urinary tract and UPJ obstruction: reappraisal of the aetiology of UPJ obstruction

Folia Morphologica, 2021
BACKGROUND: Telocytes and Cajal cells have been described in human urinary tract and reproductive system in women and men. Telocytes and Cajal cells have been differentiated from other interstitial cells and were described to be an element in smooth ...

Comparison of the ICC location in the gallbladder wall in patients with cholelithiasis and patients with non-calculous changes

Polish Journal of Pathology, 2019
Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) were first described by Santiago Ramon y Cajal over 100 years ago. They are thought to play an important role in the regulation of gastrointestinal motility.

Close relation of arterial ICC-like cells to the contractile phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cell [PDF]

, 2007
This work aimed to establish the lineage of cells similar to the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), the arterial ICC-like (AIL) cells, which have recently been described in resistance arteries, and to study their location in the artery wall.

Insulin-Like Growth Factor1 Preserves Gastric Pacemaker Cells and Motor Function in Aging via ERK1/2 ActivationSummary

Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2023
Background & Aims: Impaired gastric motor function in the elderly causes reduced food intake leading to frailty and sarcopenia. We previously found that aging-related impaired gastric compliance was mainly owing to depletion of interstitial cells of ...

Role of Cytolethal Distending Toxin in Altered Stool Form and Bowel Phenotypes in a Rat Model of Post-infectious Irritable Bowel Syndrome. [PDF]

, 2012
Background/aimsCampylobacter jejuni infection is a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis, which is a trigger for post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS). Cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) is expressed by enteric pathogens that cause PI-IBS. We
