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 …

Background: All living organisms are made of individual and identifiable cells, whose
number, together with their size and type, ultimately defines the structure and functions of an …

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 …

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) …

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 …

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

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