Mice lacking protease nexin-1 show delayed structural and functional recovery after sciatic nerve crush [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Multiple molecular mechanisms influence nerve regeneration. Because serine proteases were shown to affect peripheral nerve regeneration, we performed nerve crush experiments to study synapse reinnervation in adult mice lacking the serpin protease nexin-1

Axonal Influences on Schwann Cell Gene Expression [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
The aim of these studies was to investigate some of the ways in which the axon influences Schwann cell gene ...

Skeletal Stem Cell-Schwann Cell Circuitry in Mandibular Repair

open access: yesCell 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 ...

Schwann cells in regeneration and cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology
Schwann 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 ...

miR-148b-3p promotes migration of Schwann cells by targeting cullin-associated and neddylation-dissociated 1

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2016
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that negatively adjust gene expression in multifarious biological processes. However, the regulatory effects of miRNAs on Schwann cells remain poorly understood.

TGF beta type II receptor signaling controls Schwann cell death and proliferation in developing nerves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
During development, Schwann cell numbers are precisely adjusted to match the number of axons. It is essentially unknown which growth factors or receptors carry out this important control in vivo.

Willin, an upstream component of the Hippo signaling pathway, orchestrates mammalian peripheral nerve fibroblasts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Willin/FRMD6 was first identified in the rat sciatic nerve, which is composed of neurons, Schwann cells, and fibroblasts. Willin is an upstream component of the Hippo signaling pathway, which results in the inactivation of the transcriptional coactivator

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Advancing Human Skin Equivalents: The Crucial Role of Neurovascular Integration

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review discusses the importance of integrating vascular and peripheral nerve systems into human skin equivalents (HSEs) to better recapitulate native skin physiology. Recent advances in vascularized, innervated, and neurovascularized HSEs are highlighted, together with emerging bioengineering strategies, current challenges, and future ...

Anti‐Inflammatory and Neuroactive Effects of Polymer‐Coated Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Functionalized With Interleukin 4 for Spinal Cord Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Polymer‐coated IONPs functionalized with IL‐4 display respective neuroactive and anti‐inflammatory actions on neural progenitor cells and macrophages/microglia in vitro. When examined chronically in a rat experimental model of spinal cord injury, rGO scaffolds carrying these nanosystems adequately integrate into the lesion, significantly reduce ...
