The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

TELOCYTES – a case of serendipity: the winding way from Interstitial Cells of Cajal (ICC), via Interstitial Cajal-Like Cells (ICLC) to TELOCYTES (2010, background): “All together these researchers agreed with and confirmed the role proposed for these cells by Cajal: to be actively involved in the regulation of gastrointestinal motility, and not only as pace-maker cells but also in neurotransmission and stretch sensing (see [7–9] for reviews).”
Handbook of ion channels (2015, background): “These are pacemaker cells that induce rhythmic slow waves in the electrically coupled smooth muscle cells of the GI tract, controlling smooth muscle phasic contractions that give rise to peristalsis (Sanders et al., 2006).”
Inositol trisphosphate and calcium signalling mechanisms. (2009, background): “[57], smoothmuscle cells [50,58–60], interstitial cells of Cajal [61] and mammalian oocytes [40–42].”
