Figure 4 Electron microscopy images of damaged interstitial Cajal-like cells.
Interstitial Cajal-like cells (ICLCs) in common bile duct notably changed after incubation with methylene blue and light treatment. The ICLCs were swollen, the cytoplasm was loose, the number of mitochondria was reduced, the caveolae disappeared, and the cell membrane was damaged.
