Essential Role of the Interstitial Cells of Cajal in Nitric Oxide-Mediated Relaxation of Longitudinal Muscle of the Mouse Ileum

The role of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in electrical field stimulation (EFS)-induced neurogenic responses in ileum was studied by using the ICC-deficient mutant (SLC-W/WV) mouse and its wild type.
