A case for interstitial cells of Cajal as pacemakers and mediators of neurotransmission in the gastrointestinal tract.

Gastroenterology - 1 Aug 1996

Sanders K M

Abstract excerpt

Electrical rhythmicity in gastrointestinal muscles has been studied for a century, but the pacemakers driving this phenomenon have been elusive. Anatomic studies suggest that interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) may be pacemakers and conductors of electrical activity. ICC may also mediate neurotrans...
