Association of low numbers of <scp>CD</scp> 206‐positive cells with loss of <scp>ICC</scp> in the gastric body of patients with diabetic gastroparesis

Abstract

Depletion of ICC and correlation with changes in CD206+ cell numbers in DC and DG patients suggests that in humans, like mice, CD206+ macrophages may play a cytoprotective role in diabetes. These findings may lead to novel therapeutic options, targeting alternatively activated macrophages.
