Abstract Background and purpose Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT) is a heterogeneous group of disorders caused by mutations in at least 100 genes. However, approximately 60% of cases with axonal neuropathies (CMT2) still remain without a genetic diagnosis. We aimed at identifying novel disease genes responsible for CMT2.

Schwann cells play a crucial role in successful nerve repair and regeneration by supporting both axonal growth and myelination. However, the sources of human Schwann cells are limited both for studies of Schwann cell development and biology and for the ...

Ras/Raf signalling in primary cells [PDF]
Oncogenic activation of the Ras gene has been implicated in many human tumours. However, despite the ability of Ras to transform immortal cell lines, activated Ras is growth inhibitory in primary cells. We have previously shown that activation of Ras/Raf

A Dual Role of erbB2 in Myelination and in Expansion of the Schwann Cell Precursor Pool [PDF]
Neuregulin-1 provides an important axonally derived signal for the survival and growth of developing Schwann cells, which is transmitted by the ErbB2/ErbB3 receptor tyrosine kinases.

Implantable Self‐Powered Systems for Electrical Stimulation Medical Devices
In this paper, the design strategy and clinical application of ISS are discussed in depth from four aspects: the design and optimization of the energy collection module, the selection and preparation of adaptive electrode materials, the innovation of system design strategy, and the biological effect of electrical stimulation of ISS.

Background: Bacterial pathogens can manipulate or subvert host tissue cells to their advantage at different stages during infection, from initial colonization in primary host niches to dissemination. Recently, we have shown that Mycobacterium leprae (ML),

Nlrp6 promotes recovery after peripheral nerve injury independently of inflammasomes [PDF]
Background: NOD-like receptors (Nlrs) are key regulators of immune responses during infection and autoimmunity. A subset of Nlrs assembles inflammasomes, molecular platforms that are activated in response to endogenous danger and microbial ligands and ...

Inspired by exercise‐induced metabolic rewiring and EV secretion, this study shows that in vivo metabolic engineering strategy can reprogram EV secretion pattern and simultaneously attenuate multiple tissue injury in CKD status, highlighting that it is a potential strategy for treating diverse chronic diseases.

The introduction of bowel cancer population screening programs has had a profound impact on gastrointestinal pathology. While the focus is mainly on quality assurance of diagnoses relevant for the outcome of these programs (colorectal cancer and its precursors), incidental findings are increasingly diagnosed.

TRPV4 activation in Schwann cells mediates mechanically induced pain of oral cancer
IntroductionPatients with oral cancer often experience intense functional pain due to mechanical stimulation at the cancer site. The role of mechanosensitive ion channels in oral cancer pain, such as TRPV4, is not fully understood.ObjectivesOur objective
