Abstract
Subpopulations of interstitial cells of Cajal are regarded as the source of spontaneous slow waves of the gut musculature (pacemaker cells). Their ontogeny remains unclear, but a role of the tyrosine kinase receptor c-kit in their development has recently been recognized. This study examined the interstitial cells in the human colon and in Hirschsprung's disease (aganglionosis).
