Smooth muscles are complex tissues containing a variety of cells in addition to muscle cells.
Interstitial cells of mesenchymal origin interact with and form electrical connectivity with …

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 …

Telocytes (TC s) are a distinct type of interstitial cells characterized by a small cell body and
extremely long and thin telopodes (Tps). The presence of TC s has been documented in …

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 …

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 …

Telocytes (TCs), located ubiquitously in the internal organs of vertebrates, are a
heterogeneous, recently described, cell population of the stromal space. Characterized by …

Telocytes (TCs), a novel cell type, are briefly defined as interstitial cells with telopodes (Tps).
However, a specific immunocytochemical marker has not yet been found; therefore, electron …

Specific classes of interstitial cells exist in visceral organs and have been implicated in
several physiological functions including pacemaking and mediators in neurotransmission …
