ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Pacinian corpuscles are end organs of the sensory nervous system. The size and superficial location of Pacinian corpuscles allows them to be visualized with high‐resolution ultrasound. This pilot study sought to assess the reliability of Pacinian corpuscle counting in the hand using ultrasound.

ABSTRACT Objective High glucose damages rat Schwann cells (SCs), which is closely related to the dysfunction of mitochondria‐associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs). Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the protective effects and mechanisms of modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and mitochondrial fusion protein 2 (

Growth factors and growth associated protein (GAP-43) in the peripheral nervous system [PDF]
The factors required to stimulate short-term Schwann cell DNA synthesis in serum-free medium (containing insulin) are thoroughly analysed and compared with the growth factor requirements of long-term ''autocrine" Schwann cells.

Pitchfork Bifurcation In A Coupled Cell System [PDF]
Various biological phenomena, like cell differentiation and pattern formation in multicellular organisms, are explained using the bifurcation theory. Molecular network motifs like positive feedback and mutual repressor exhibit bifurcation and are responsible for the emergence of diverse cell types.
