Glial βii spectrin contributes to paranode formation and maintenance [PDF]
, 2018 Action potential conduction along myelinated axons depends on high densities of voltage-gated Na channels at the nodes of Ranvier. Flanking each node, paranodal junctions (paranodes) are formed between axons and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous ...

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 ...

The repair Schwann cell and its function in regenerating nerves. [PDF]
, 2016 Nerve injury triggers the conversion of myelin and non-myelin (Remak) Schwann cells to a cell phenotype specialised to promote repair. Distal to damage, these repair Schwann cells provide the necessary signals and spatial cues for the survival of injured

Skeletal Stem Cell-Schwann Cell Circuitry in Mandibular Repair
Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: Regenerative paradigms exhibit nerve dependency, including regeneration of the mouse digit tip and salamander limb. Denervation impairs regeneration and produces morphological aberrancy in these contexts, but the direct effect of innervation on ...

Acute- and late-phase matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 activity is comparable in female and male rats after peripheral nerve injury. [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND:In the peripheral nerve, pro-inflammatory matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 performs essential functions in the acute response to injury. Whether MMP-9 activity contributes to late-phase injury or whether MMP-9 expression or activity after ...

Myelination: all about Rac n roll. [PDF]
, 2007 During the development of the peripheral nervous system, Schwann cells select individual axons from a nerve bundle and establish a one-to-one relationship through a process termed radial sorting. Recent findings identify the Rho family GTPase Rac1 as the

Gpr126/Adgrg6 has Schwann cell autonomous and nonautonomous functions in peripheral nerve injury and repair [PDF]
, 2016 Schwann cells (SCs) are essential for proper peripheral nerve development and repair, although the mechanisms regulating these processes are incompletely understood.

Schwann cells in regeneration and cancer
Frontiers in PharmacologySchwann cells are specific peripheral glial cells with remarkable plasticity following peripheral nerve injury. Injury responses stimulate c-Jun activation in Schwann cells, drive epithelial-mesenchymal transition and cellular phenotypic changes, and ...
