Protective Effects of Imeglimin Against Oxaliplatin‐Induced Peripheral Neurotoxicity: Evidence From In Vitro and In Vivo Studies

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oxaliplatin is a platinum‐based anticancer agent widely used for gastrointestinal malignancies; however, it is known to cause dose‐dependent peripheral neuropathy (OIPN), a characteristic adverse effect. OIPN results in a reduced quality of life and often necessitates dose reduction or discontinuation of oxaliplatin; however, effective ...

The structural and functional integrity of peripheral nerves depends on the glial-derived signal desert hedgehog

open access: yes, 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.

Lysosome Evanescence Mediates Autophagic Flux Impairment in Glucose Imbalanced Environments

open access: yesThe 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.

CO- TRANSPLANTATION OF BONE MARROW STROMAL CELLS WITH SCHWANN CELLS EVOKES MECHANICAL ALLODYNIA IN THE CONTUSION MODEL OF SPINAL CORD INJURY IN RATS [PDF]

open access: yes
Objective: Several studies have shown that, although transplantation of neural stem cells into the contusion model of spinal cord injury (SCI) promotes locomotor function and improves functional recovery, it induces a painful response, Allodynia ...

Functional neurons and melanocytes induced from immortal lines of postnatal neural crest-like stem cells

open access: yes, 2009
Stem cells, that is, cells that can both reproduce themselves and differentiate into functional cell types, attract much interest as potential aids to healing and disease therapy. Embryonic neural crest is pluripotent and generates the peripheral nervous

Regulation of Injury Induced Schwann Cell Proliferation Schwann Cell Proliferation

open access: yes, 1999
The purpose of this study was to investigate injury induced proliferation of Schwann cells with emphasis of the effects of the insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I and IGF-II) and the sex hormones progesterone and estrogen.

Remyelination of Demyelinated CNS Axons by Transplanted Human Schwann Cells: The Deleterious Effect of Contaminating Fibroblasts

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2001
Areas of demyelination can be remyelinated by transplanting myelin-forming cells. Schwann cells are the naturally remyelinating cells of the peripheral nervous system and have a number of features that may make them attractive for cell implantation ...

Analysis of Schwann Cell Migration and Axon Regeneration Following Nerve Injury in the Sciatic Nerve Bridge

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2019
While it is proposed that interaction between Schwann cells and axons is key for successful nerve regeneration, the behavior of Schwann cells migrating into a nerve gap following a transection injury and how migrating Schwann cells interact with ...

Bronchial Mucosal Abnormalities in Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) is a challenging variant of airway stenosis associated with consistent distal airway abnormalities on bronchoscopy, including pits, depressions, and striations. Despite these findings, most patients demonstrate normal or mild–moderate obstruction on spirometry.

Do Schwann Cells Stop, DR(o)P2, and Roll?

open access: yes, 2001
Dystrophin-dystroglycan complexes in Schwann cells may play a role in both signaling and structural interactions between the extracellular matrix and the cytoskeleton. Sherman et al. (2001) show that a new complex containing dystrophin-related protein 2 (
