Interleukin 6/gp130 axis promotes neural invasion in pancreatic cancer
Nerve invasion (N‐inv) is an important prognostic factor in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). To elucidate circulating stimulators for nerve invasion, the authors evaluated the stimulant activity and the inhibitory effects of IL‐6/gp130 axis. Biological activity of IL‐6/gp130 axis promoted nerve invasion in murine model and was upregulated in ...

c-Jun reprograms Schwann cells of injured nerves to generate a repair cell essential for regeneration. [PDF]
The radical response of peripheral nerves to injury (Wallerian degeneration) is the cornerstone of nerve repair. We show that activation of the transcription factor c-Jun in Schwann cells is a global regulator of Wallerian degeneration.

Nerve growth factor signaling through p75 induces apoptosis in Schwann cells via a Bcl-2-independent pathway [PDF]
Apoptosis is involved in the regulation of Schwann cell numbers during normal development and after axonal damage, but the molecular regulation of Schwann cell death remains unknown.

Edaravone combined with Schwann cell transplantation may repair spinal cord injury in rats
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 ...

A Study of Qualitative Correlations Between Crucial Bio-markers and the Optimal Drug Regimen of Type-I Lepra Reaction: A Deterministic Approach [PDF]
Mycobacterium leprae is a bacteria that causes the disease Leprosy (Hansen's disease), which is a neglected tropical disease. More than 200000 cases are being reported per year world wide. This disease leads to a chronic stage known as Lepra reaction that majorly causes nerve damage of peripheral nervous system leading to loss of organs.

The repair Schwann cell and its function in regenerating nerves. [PDF]
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
