Interstitial Cells of Cajal Remodeling as a Mechanistic Insight Into the Natural History of Achalasia: Lessons From 3 Clinical Cases
We read with great interest recent casebased report in Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility describing the dynamic clinical course of achalasia.Taken together from another reports, these cases illustrate not only the progression of esophageal motor dysfunction but also the potential for partial remission, providing a unique window to consider the role of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) remodeling in disease evolution.
