Apoptotic cell death of human interstitial cells of Cajal [PDF]

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology & Motility, 2008
Abstract  Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are specialized mesenchyme‐derived cells that regulate contractility and excitability of many smooth muscles with loss of ICC seen in a variety of gut motility disorders. Maintenance of ICC numbers is tightly regulated, with several factors known to regulate proliferation.

A multi-parameter approach to measurement of spontaneous myogenic contractions in human stomach: Utilization to assess potential modulators of myogenic contractions

open access: yesPharmacological Research, 2022
Electrical slow waves, generated by interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC), cause spontaneous contractions of human stomach. Software was developed to measure muscle tone and eleven different parameters defining these contractions in human stomach, displaying

Control of echolocation pulses by neurons of the nucleus ambiguus in the rufous horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus rouxi [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
1. Horseradish peroxidase was applied by iontophoretic injections to physiologically identified regions of the laryngeal motor nucleus, the nucleus ambiguus in the CF/FM batRhinolophus rouxi. 2.

Spatial relationship between telocytes, interstitial cells of Cajal and the enteric nervous system in the human ileum and colon

open access: yesJournal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, 2020
Telocytes (TCs) are recently described interstitial cells, present in almost all human organs. Among many other functions, TCs regulate gastrointestinal motility together with the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs).

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 ...

A imunomarcação positiva para c-kit está associada com a presença de células análogas às intersticiais de Cajal no músculo ciliar? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
PURPOSE: Interstitial cells of Cajal were identified in the gastrointestinal tract of several species, with close relation to the enteric nervous system.

INTERSTITIAL CELLS OF CAJAL IN ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Andrology, 2006
The corpora cavernosa (CC) evokes electric activity. Slow waves (SWs) appear to originate from interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs), which seem to control the activity of the smooth muscle cells (SMC). The ICCs were demonstrated to exist in the CC. We investigated the hypothesis that the ICC distribution differs with each of the various ED types.

Telocytes

open access: yesBiomolecular Concepts, 2011
Here, we review the history, morphology, immunohistochemical phenotype, and presumptive roles of a new type of interstitial tissue cells, formerly called interstitial Cajal-like cells (ICLC) and by 2010 named ‘telocytes’ (TC).

Comparison of Cajal-like cells in pelvis and proximal ureter of kidney with and without hydronephrosis

open access: yesInternational Brazilian Journal of Urology, 2015
Objectives: To evaluate effects of Cajal-like cells on human renal pelvis and proximal ureter on peristalsis. Materials and Methods: 63 patients submitted to nephrectomy due to atrophic non-functional kidney associated with hydroureteronephrosis were ...

Ureteropelvic junction obstruction in children by polar vessels: histological examination result

open access: yesLa Pediatria Medica e Chirurgica, 2023
In children, ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is mostly caused by intrinsic factors (IUPJO) such as abnormal amounts of muscle and collagen deposition; extrinsic UPJO are rare and often due to crossing vessels (CVs).
