Three‐Dimensional Ovary Model to Improve and Study Murine Follicle Growth
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.To develop new methods for fertility preservation in women, novel culture systems for small follicles need to be established. In this work, a poly(ethylene glycol) based scaffold, with appropriate mechanical and bioactive features to support mouse follicle and ovary cell growth is developed, and the formed cell‐follicle interactions are visualized ...

The structural and functional integrity of peripheral nerves depends on the glial-derived signal desert hedgehog [PDF]
, 2006 We show that desert hedgehog ( dhh), a signaling molecule expressed by Schwann cells, is essential for the structural and functional integrity of the peripheral nerve.

The glia response after peripheral nerve injury: A comparison between Schwann cells and olfactory ensheathing cells and their uses for neural regenerative therapies [PDF]
, 2017 The peripheral nervous system (PNS) exhibits a much larger capacity for regeneration than the central nervous system (CNS). One reason for this difference is the difference in glial cell types between the two systems.

A regional survey of myelin development: some compositional and metabolic aspects
Journal of Lipid Research, 1973 A survey of differences in composition and metabolism of myelin from five areas of the central nervous system was made in brain and spinal cord slices of the rat from 20 days to 20 months postnatal age.

Knockdown of Unconventional Myosin ID Expression Induced Morphological Change in Oligodendrocytes
ASN Neuro, 2016 Myelin is a special multilamellar structure involved in various functions in the nervous system. In the central nervous system, the oligodendrocyte (OL) produces myelin and has a unique morphology.

TGF beta type II receptor signaling controls Schwann cell death and proliferation in developing nerves [PDF]
, 2006 During development, Schwann cell numbers are precisely adjusted to match the number of axons. It is essentially unknown which growth factors or receptors carry out this important control in vivo.

Correlated disorder in myelinated axons orientational geometry and structure
, 2017 While the ultrastructure of the myelin has been considered to be a quasi-crystalline stable system, nowadays its multiscale complex dynamics appears to play a key role for its functionality, degeneration and repair processes following neurological ...

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.
