The Effect of Schwann Cells/Schwann Cell-Like Cells on Cell Therapy for Peripheral Neuropathy [PDF]
Peripheral neuropathy is a common neurological issue that leads to sensory and motor disorders. Over time, the treatment for peripheral neuropathy has primarily focused on medications for specific symptoms and surgical techniques.

Schwann-spheres derived from injured peripheral nerves in adult mice--their in vitro characterization and therapeutic potential. [PDF]
Multipotent somatic stem cells have been identified in various adult tissues. However, the stem/progenitor cells of the peripheral nerves have been isolated only from fetal tissues.

Ablation of Dicer from murine Schwann cells increases their proliferation while blocking myelination. [PDF]
The myelin sheaths that surround the thick axons of the peripheral nervous system are produced by the highly specialized Schwann cells. Differentiation of Schwann cells and myelination occur in discrete steps.

mTORC1 is essential for early steps during Schwann cell differentiation of amniotic fluid stem cells and regulates lipogenic gene expression. [PDF]
Schwann cell development is hallmarked by the induction of a lipogenic profile. Here we used amniotic fluid stem (AFS) cells and focused on the mechanisms occurring during early steps of differentiation along the Schwann cell lineage.

CD9 plays a role in Schwann cell migration in vitro [PDF]
To identify molecules that regulate Schwann cell migration, we have generated a panel of monoclonal antibodies against Schwann cell surface antigens that modulate Schwann cell migration in in vitro bioassays.

Treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with allogeneic Schwann cell–derived exosomal vesicles: a case report [PDF]
Schwann cells are essential for the maintenance and function of motor neurons, axonal networks, and the neuromuscular junction. In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, where motor neuron function is progressively lost, Schwann cell function may also be ...

Research progress on mechanism of Schwann cells promoting peripheral nerve regeneration [PDF]
Schwann cells (SCs) have a strong plasticity. After peripheral nerve injury, Schwann cells dedifferentiate into repair phenotype and dominate the repair process. C-Jun N-terminal kinase, mitogen activated protein kinase(MAPK) and other signaling pathways

Ribosomal trafficking is reduced in Schwann cells following induction of myelination. [PDF]
Local synthesis of proteins within the Schwann cell periphery is extremely important for efficient process extension and myelination, when cells undergo dramatic changes in polarity and geometry.

Inhibition of Schwann Cell Pyroptosis Promotes Nerve Regeneration in Peripheral Nerve Injury in Rats
Background. Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is one of the most debilitating injuries, but therapies for PNI are still far from satisfactory. Pyroptosis, a recently identified form of cell death, has been demonstrated to participate in different diseases ...
