Interstitial Cajal‐like cells (ICLC) in myocardial sleeves of human pulmonary veins

We present here evidence for the existence of a new type of interstitial cell in human myocardial sleeves of pulmonary veins: interstitial Cajal‐like cell (ICLC). This cell fulfils the criteria for positive diagnosis of ICLC, including CD 117/c‐kit positivity. Transmission electron microscopy reveal...
