Telocytes (TCs) are a novel interstitial (stromal) cell type described in many tissues and
organs (www. telocytes. com). A TC is characterized by a small cell body (9–15 μm) and a …

Recently, parallels have been drawn between enteric interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) and
similar cells outside the gut—interstitial Cajal‐like cells (ICLC). This article reviews our …

Ramon y Cajal discovered a particular cell type in the gut, which he named 'interstitial
neurons' more that 100 years ago. In the early 1970s, electron microscopy/electron …

Telocytes (TCs) have been described in various organs and species (www. telocytes. com)
as cells with telopodes (Tps)–very long cellular extensions with an alternation of thin …

This study describes a novel type of interstitial (stromal) cell—telocytes (TCs)—in the human
and mouse respiratory tree (terminal and respiratory bronchioles, as well as alveolar ducts) …

Telocytes (TCs), a particular interstitial cell type, have been recently described in a wide
variety of mammalian organs (www. telocytes. com). The TCs are identified morphologically …

Conventionally, cells described in the stroma of the intestinal wall are fibroblasts/fibrocytes,
mast cells, plasma cells, eosinophils, macrophages and, interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs), the …

Telocytes (TC s), a novel type of interstitial cells, were recently described in the interstitial
space of tissues (www. telocytes. com). Telocytes TC s have several very long, moniliform …

We describe here an interstitial Cajal-like cell type (ICLC) in human gallbladder, resembling
the archetypal enteric interstitial cells of Cajal. Gallbladder ICLC were demonstrated in fresh …
