Article Synopsis
- The developing chicken gut starts with movements caused only by smooth muscle, but later changes to movements controlled by special cells called interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs).
- ICCs, which help make gut movements more regular and faster, start working in the gut around embryonic day 14.
- Researchers used special techniques to see these changes and believe humans experience this shift from smooth muscle to ICC control between 12 and 14 weeks of development.
