Chondroitinase ABC combined with Schwann cell transplantation enhances restoration of neural connection and functional recovery following acute and chronic spinal cord injury

Neural Regeneration Research
Schwann cell transplantation is considered one of the most promising cell-based therapy to repair injured spinal cord due to its unique growth-promoting and myelin-forming properties. A the Food and Drug Administration-approved Phase I clinical trial has

Molecular heterogeneity and prognostic biomarkers in primary meningeal melanocytic tumors

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Integrated molecular profiling reveals biological heterogeneity among primary meningeal melanocytic tumors, identifying intermediate‐grade PMMT subgroups with distinct recurrence risk. Molecular alterations including SF3B1 mutations and chromosome 8q gains support prognostic stratification, while PRKAR1A alterations and chromosome 17/21q losses aid ...

Electrophysiology of mammalian Schwann cells

Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2002
Schwann cells are the satellite cell of the peripheral nervous system, and they surround axons and motor nerve terminals. The review summarises evidence for the ion channels expressed by mammalian Schwann cells, their molecular nature and known or speculated functions.

Activation of peripheral NOP receptors reduces periorbital mechanical allodynia evoked by CGRP in mice

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Migraine is a neurovascular disorder largely mediated by calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP). This study explores the role of the nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ)–N/OFQ receptor (NOP) system in CGRP‐induced periorbital mechanical allodynia (PMA) in mice.

Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐

Partial Reprogramming in Senescent Schwann Cells Enhances Peripheral Nerve Regeneration via Restoration of Stress Granule Homeostasis

Advanced Science
Partial reprogramming (pulsed expression of reprogramming transcription factors) ameliorates multiple tissue functions in aged mice; however, its impact on peripheral nerve regeneration remains largely unexplored.

Peripheral targets for neuropathic pain

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Neuropathic pain represents a significant clinical challenge, with still limited pharmacological approaches to symptomatic relief. This review focuses on molecular targets implicated in neuropathic pain, particularly those involved in peripheral mechanisms. Using the IUPHAR/BPS database of biological targets, their occurrence together with ‘neuropathic

Inhibition of Ornithine Decarboxylase 1 Mitigates Denervation‐Induced Muscle Atrophy by Suppressing Proteolysis and Preserving Muscle Stem Cell Homeostasis

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Polyamine metabolism is innervation responsive and involved in denervation‐induced muscle atrophy. Inhibition of polyamine metabolism attenuates muscle atrophy by restraining proteolysis and preserving MuSCs homeostasis. Denervation‐induced activation of FAP‐derived FGF7 drives premature MuSCs activation, while DFMO suppresses this paracrine cue to ...

Zeb2 Controls Retinal Physiological and Pathological Angiogenesis by Regulating Astrocyte Proliferation and Differentiation

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
During development, the oxygen‐sensitive transcription factor Zeb2 restrains astrocyte proliferation and maturation to ensure balanced retinal angiogenesis. In disease, it promotes the neurotoxic A1 astrocyte phenotype and inflammation, thereby promoting reparative revascularization over pathological neovascularization.

Persistent in vitro nociceptor hyperexcitability and axonal retraction produced by repeated paclitaxel doses

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Repeated paclitaxel exposure causes long‐lasting nociceptor hyperexcitability and axonal retraction in adult sensory neurons. Using a long‐term primary nociceptor culture, we show that hyperexcitability is mediated by sequential upregulation of NaV1.8, TRPV1, TRPA1, and TRPM8 channels.
