Abstract excerpt
Myosalpinx contractions are critical for oocyte transport along the oviduct. A specialized population of pacemaker cells-oviduct interstitial cells of Cajal-generate slow waves, the electrical events underlying myosalpinx contractions. The ionic basis of oviduct pacemaker activity is unknown. We...
