Relationship between Interstitial Cells of Cajal and Gastrointestinal Inflammation in Children / 实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

The main function of interstitial cells of Cajal(ICCs) is to produce the gastrointestinal slow-wave electric potential,to impel the propagation of electric potential,and to participate in the transmission of neural signal.The decrease or abnormal distribution of ICCs would lead to gastrointestinal inflammation easily.Meanwhile,as the gastrointestinal inflammation happens,inflammatory cells and mediators also can reduce the number of ICCs.
