Smooth muscle tissue represents a complicated and dynamical ensemble of smooth muscle cells characterized by different structural-methabolical parameters. In the composition of smooth muscle tissue a group of cell elements (cells of Cajal, ICC) is incorporated. Their structural organization and localization in smooth muscle tissue allow to consider them an important component of the system responsible for functional activity regulation. The goal of the study was to get a reliable technology for ICC isolation. The method of the alkaline cell dissociation was used. Isolated smooth cells of different organs were studied. Our findings have shown that the cells we have got by the method of cell dissosiation had clear stable morphological parameters of the interstitial cells of Cajal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
