Identification of interstitial cells of Cajal in the human rectum.

Frontiers in bioscience : a journal and virtual library - 1 Sept 2004

Abstract excerpt

It is postulated that the electric waves of the gut are generated by interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC). We hypothesized the presence of ICC in the rectum as initiating the rectal electric activity. The current study investigated this hypothesis. Two rectal specimens were taken from healthy areas of excised rectum of 22 rectal cancer patients (age 44.6+/-.2 SD years, 12 men, 10 women). The study specimens were...
