Abstract
Submuscular interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are putative pacemaker cells of the colonic external muscle. Although motility disturbances and smooth muscle dysfunction are prevalent in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), ICC have never been studied in this disease. The aim of this study was to examine the ultrastructure of submuscular ICC in UC.
