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 …

BACKGROUND Uterine contractile activity plays an important role in many and varied
reproductive functions including sperm and embryo transport, implantation, menstruation …

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 …

We review the morphofunctional characteristics of CD34+ stromal fibroblastic/fibrocytic cells
(CD34+ SFCs) and report our observations. We consider the following aspects of CD34+ …

Since the first description of 'interstitial cells of Cajal'in the mammalian gut in 1911, scientists
have found structurally similar cells, now termed telocytes, in numerous tissues throughout …

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) …

Here, we review the history, morphology, immunohistochemical phenotype, and
presumptive roles of a new type of interstitial tissue cells, formerly called interstitial Cajal-like …

In the last few years, a new cell type–interstitial Cajal-like cell (ICLC)–has been described in
digestive and extra-digestive organs. The name has recently been changed to telocytes (TC) …

The existence of the epicardial telocytes was previously documented by
immunohistochemistry (IHC) or immunofluorescence. We have also demonstrated recently …
