“…Disturbances in gastrointestinal motility after the loss of, or damage to, ICCs have been widely reported in several clinical and pathological conditions, including gastroparesis, constipation, achalasia, Chagas disease, Hirschprung's disease, congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, intestinal pseudo-obstructions, and diverticular disease of the colon [6,[8][9][10]. Many authors have investigated cells similar to ICCs located in other organs, including the pancreas, urether, urethra, bladder, blood vessels, male and female reproductive organs, mammary glands, placenta, heart, and lungs [8,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Cells that resemble archetypal enteric ICCs are referred to as interstitial Cajal-like cells (ICLCs).…”
