Physiology, Injury, and Recovery of Interstitial Cells of Cajal: Basic and Clinical Science

Abstract

In the last 15 years, our understanding of the cellular basis of gastrointestinal function has been altered irreversibly by the discovery that normal gastrointestinal motility requires interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC). Research in this relatively short time period has modified our original concept that the core unit that controls motility is made up of nerves and smooth muscle, to one that now includes ICC. This concept has now expanded to beyond the gastrointestinal tract, suggesting that it may be a fundamental property of the regulation of smooth muscle function that requires rhythmic contraction. ICC are distributed throughout the gastrointestinal tract, have important functions in the control of gastrointestinal motility and are often abnormal in diseased states. Recently, significant steps forward have been made in our understanding of the physiology of ICC as well as mechanisms of injury and recovery. These advances will be the focus of this review.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
