Igf1r+/CD34+ immature ICC are putative adult progenitor cells, identified ultrastructurally as fibroblast-like ICC in Ws/Ws rat colon

The colon of Ws/Ws mutant rats shows impairment of pacemaker activity and altered inhibitory neurotransmission. The present study set out to find structural correlates to these findings to resolve mechanisms. In the colon of Ws/Ws rats, interstitial cells of Cajal associated with Auerbach's plexus (ICC-AP) were significantly decreased and ICC located at the submuscular plexus and intramuscular ...

Indian childhood cirrhosis (ICC) & ICC-like diseases: The changing scenario of facts versus notions

Indian childhood cirrhosis (ICC), a disease considered to have been endemic in and unique to India has now been documented in children of non-Indian origin from other countries. More recently available findings from a large multicentre study sponsored by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) have dispelled some of the generally accepted notions and have established several new facts on ...

ICC and Probabilistic Classes

MiniReview Gut Pacemaker Cells : the Interstitial Cells of Cajal ( ICC )

This review will focus on the pacemaker mechanisrns underlying gastrointestinal autonomic rhythmicity in an attempt to elucidate the differences and similarities between the pacemaker mechanisrns in the heart and gut. Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) form networks that are widely distributed within the submucosal (ICC-SM) , intra-muscular (ICCIM, ICC-DMP) and inter-muscular layers (ICC-MY) of ...

The History of the ICC

The History of the ICC In recent years hopes of resolving the chaos of color reproduction in open systems and the World Wide Web have slowly become focused on de facto industry standards. Apple Computer led an initiative starting in the spring of 1993, known as the ColorSync Consortium, to resolve this chaos. Over the next eighteen months, this initiative produced an open, cross-platform devic...
