Schwann Cell Myelination [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2015 Myelinated nerve fibers are essential for the rapid propagation of action potentials by saltatory conduction. They form as the result of reciprocal interactions between axons and Schwann cells. Extrinsic signals from the axon, and the extracellular matrix, drive Schwann cells to adopt a myelinating fate, whereas myelination reorganizes the axon for its

Control of Schwann cell myelination [PDF]
F1000 Biology Reports, 2010 Schwann cells ensheath all axons of peripheral nerves. Only around large-diameter axons do they elaborate myelin, forming insulating sheaths that are vital for fast conduction of axon potentials. A series of recent papers has illuminated some of the ways in which the process of myelination is controlled, both by signals from axons and by positive and ...

Rab27a/Slp2-a complex is involved in Schwann cell myelination
Neural Regeneration Research, 2016 Myelination of Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system is an intricate process involving myelin protein trafficking. Recently, the role and mechanism of the endosomal/lysosomal system in myelin formation were emphasized.

The Neurobiology of Schwann Cells
Brain Pathology, 1999 This selective review of Schwann cell biology focuses on questions relating to the origins, development and differentiation of Schwann cells and the signals that control these processes. The importance of neuregulins and their receptors in controlling Schwann cell precursor survival and generation of Schwann cells, and the role of these molecules in ...

Transcriptional Regulation Induced by cAMP Elevation in Mouse Schwann Cells
ASN Neuro, 2014 In peripheral nerves, Schwann cell development is regulated by a variety of signals. Some of the aspects of Schwann cell differentiation can be reproduced in vitro in response to forskolin, an adenylyl cyclase activator elevating intracellular cAMP ...

Macrophages Regulate Schwann Cell Maturation after Nerve Injury
Cell Reports, 2018 Summary: Pro-regenerative macrophages are well known for their role in promoting tissue repair; however, their specific roles in promoting regeneration of the injured nerve are not well defined.

Embryonic Corneal Schwann Cells Express Some Schwann Cell Marker mRNAs, but No Mature Schwann Cell Marker Proteins [PDF]
Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2009 Embryonic chick nerves encircle the cornea in pericorneal tissue until embryonic day (E)9, then penetrate the anterior corneal stroma, invade the epithelium, and branch over the corneal surface through E20. Adult corneal nerves, cut during transplantation or LASIK, never fully regenerate.

Edaravone combined with Schwann cell transplantation may repair spinal cord injury in rats
Neural Regeneration Research, 2015 Edaravone has been shown to delay neuronal apoptosis, thereby improving nerve function and the microenvironment after spinal cord injury. Edaravone can provide a favorable environment for the treatment of spinal cord injury using Schwann cell ...
