LRIG1 Regulates Ontogeny of Smooth Muscle−Derived Subsets of Interstitial Cells of Cajal in Mice

Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) control intestinal smooth muscle contraction to regulate gut motility. ICC within the plane of the myenteric plexus (ICC-MY) arise from KIT-positive progenitor cells during mouse embryogenesis. However, little is known… Continue reading
