Fabrication and Bioactivity of Peptide‐Conjugated Biomaterial Tissue Engineering Constructs
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 44, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Various fabrication techniques can be used to form tissue engineering constructs. These constructs can be conjugated with peptides in a straightforward fashion providing them with bioactivity. Peptides afford distinct advantages over other techniques for imparting bioactivity making peptide‐conjugated constructs excellent candidates to improve healing ...

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 ...

Physical Confinement and Cell Proximity Increase Cell Migration Rates and Invasiveness: A Mathematical Model of Cancer Cell Invasion through Flexible Channels [PDF]
, 2022 Cancer cell migration between different body parts is the driving force behind cancer metastasis, which is the main cause of mortality of patients. Migration of cancer cells often proceeds by penetration through narrow cavities in locally stiff, yet flexible tissues. In our previous work, we developed a model for cell geometry evolution during invasion,

Calcium Signaling in Schwann cells
Neuroscience Letters, 2020 In addition to providing structural, metabolic and trophic support to neurons, glial cells of the central, peripheral and enteric nervous systems (CNS, PNS, ENS) respond to and regulate neural activity. One of the most well characterized features of this response is an increase of intracellular calcium.

Schwann Cells of the Bone Marrow [PDF]
Blood, 1970 Abstract Nerves containing numerous Schwann cells can be found in bone marrow with routine histological methods. Thin nerve bundles and single nerve fibers containing Schwann cells can be identified histologically with help of methods which demonstrate nerve fibers and myelin. Smears of marrow stained with the May-Grünwald-Giemsa method

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

core
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study introduces a conductive nerve guidance conduit integrated with wireless electrical stimulation through alternating magnetic fields, which induces currents and creates a supportive microenvironment for nerve regeneration. In vivo studies show that this approach significantly enhanced myelin restoration, gastrocnemius muscle regeneration ...

Long non-coding RNA NONMMUG014387 promotes Schwann cell proliferation after peripheral nerve injury
Neural Regeneration Research, 2017 Schwann cells play a critical role in peripheral nerve regeneration through dedifferentiation and proliferation. In a previous study, we performed microarray analysis of the sciatic nerve after injury.

Lithium promotes proliferation and suppresses migration of Schwann cells
Neural Regeneration Research, 2020 Schwann cell proliferation, migration and remyelination of regenerating axons contribute to regeneration after peripheral nervous system injury. Lithium promotes remyelination by Schwann cells and improves peripheral nerve regeneration.

Surface activity of cancer cells: the fusion of two cell aggregates [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Although a good comprehension of how cancer cells collectively migrate by following molecular rules which influence the state of cell-cell adhesion contacts has been generated, the impact of collective migration on cellular rearrangement from subcellular to supracellular level remains less understood.
