The cell cycle related rhythms, cells' states correlation and the cancer [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
We consider the decision making by mammalian cells, looking them as dynamic systems with rhythms. We calculate the effective dimension of the cell division model of the healthy mammalian cells consistent with the data: it is described via a four dimensional dynamic system. We assume that the cell's decision making property is strongly affected by the

Scrambled RGD Hexameric Peptide Hydrogel Supports Efficient Self‐Assembly and Cell Activity

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Self‐assembled peptide hydrogels that incorporate bioactive motifs such as the integrin‐binding epitope Arginine‐Glycine‐Aspartic acid (RGD), are known for supporting cell growth. Surprisingly, scrambling the peptide cell‐adhesion motif RGD to RDG in an Fmoc‐hexapeptide peptide gelator (Fmoc‐GFFRGD) results in superior properties in terms of minimum ...

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 ...

Oriented artificial nanofibers and laser induced periodic surface structures as substrates for Schwann cells alignment [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
People with injuries to the peripheral nervous system, due to its poor functional regeneration, suffer from paralysis of the facial muscles, fingers and hands, or toes and feet, often for the rest of their lives. Therefore, to improve patients' quality of life, there is an urgent need for conduits that effectively support the healing of large defects ...

Electrophysiology of mammalian Schwann cells

open access: yesProgress 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.

Structurally and Functionally Adaptive Biomimetic Periosteum: Materials, Fabrication, and Construction Strategies

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of structural and functional biomimicry. The upper part shows BP with various structures such as monolayered, surface‐microstructural, bilayered and multilayered. The bottom part exhibits BP with different functions including immune regulation, drugs/cells/factors/ions loading, as well as bioelectrical stimulation and ...

TNFα mediates Schwann cell death by upregulating p75NTR expression without sustained activation of NFκB

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2005
Administration of tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) to axotomised mouse neonatal sciatic nerves increased Schwann cell apoptosis in the distal nerve segments, 5-fold greater than axotomy alone.
