Abstract:
Telocytes (TCs) are a kind of interstitial cells recently identified,which distribute in the heart,lung,liver,kidney,brain and some other organs.These cells are characterized by a small cell body and extremely long and thin telopodes (Tp).The TPs arranged in moniliform aspect with alternation of thin segments and small dilations,forming a complex 3D network with the surrounding cells.More and more researches show that TPs have a role in injured tissue repairement directly or indirectly.This review focus on its function of tissue repair and the possible mechanism.
