Lysosome Evanescence Mediates Autophagic Flux Impairment in Glucose Imbalanced Environments
The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Schwann cells (SCs) support axonal function and promote nerve regeneration. This study investigated how various glucose concentrations influence SC viability, oxidative stress, and autophagy, which contribute to diabetic neuropathy. RSC96 SCs were cultured under five glucose conditions (0, 2.5, 5.5, 50, or 100 mM) for 24, 48, and 72 h.
