OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on gastrointestinal motility and the ultrastructure of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) and the expressions of c-kit receptor protein and stem cell factor (SCF) mRNA in diabetic gastropare...
High-resolution Ca imaging to study cellular Ca behaviors has led to the creation of large datasets with a profound need for standardized and accurate analysis. To analyze these datasets, spatio-temporal maps (STMaps) that allow for 2D visualization ...
Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs), pacemaker and neuromodulator cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, play an important role in GI motility. However, quantifying ICCs is challenging due to their mixed morphologies. Here, we present a protocol fo...
Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) play a key role in gastrointestinal smooth muscle contractions, but their relationship with anal canal function in advanced haemorrhoidal disease (HD) remains poorly understood. This study uses deep neural network (...
