Aligned Conductive Magnetic Nanofibers with Directional Magnetic Field Stimulation Promotes Peripheral Nerve Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Peripheral nerve injury necessitates alternatives to autografts. This study combines magnetic nanoparticles, oriented PCL fibers, and Ppy to create a conductive, magnetically active scaffold. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated enhanced downstream pathways of calcium signaling, as revealed by transcriptome analysis.

TRPV4 activation in Schwann cells mediates mechanically induced pain of oral cancer

Frontiers in Pain Research
IntroductionPatients with oral cancer often experience intense functional pain due to mechanical stimulation at the cancer site. The role of mechanosensitive ion channels in oral cancer pain, such as TRPV4, is not fully understood.ObjectivesOur objective

Perspective on Schwann Cells Derived from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells in Peripheral Nerve Tissue Engineering

Cells, 2020
Schwann cells play a crucial role in successful peripheral nerve repair and regeneration by supporting both axonal growth and myelination. Schwann cells are therefore a feasible option for cell therapy treatment of peripheral nerve injury.

Wearable Bioelectronics for Home‐Based Monitoring and Treatment of Muscle Atrophy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As an inevitable disease, muscle atrophy has received more attention. Because the factors that induce this disease are diverse, achieving a complete cure is still impossible. Wearable bioelectronics provides a more comfortable, low‐cost, and efficient way of home care for the monitoring and treatment of muscle atrophy. Therefore, this review summarizes

Reprogramming diminishes retention of Mycobacterium leprae in Schwann cells and elevates bacterial transfer property to fibroblasts [v3; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/2ae]

F1000Research, 2013
Background: Bacterial pathogens can manipulate or subvert host tissue cells to their advantage at different stages during infection, from initial colonization in primary host niches to dissemination. Recently, we have shown that Mycobacterium leprae (ML),

FGF5 Regulates Schwann Cell Migration and Adhesion

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020
The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family polypeptides play key roles in promoting tissue regeneration and repair. FGF5 is strongly up-regulated in Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system following injury; however, a role for FGF5 in peripheral ...

Integrated ‘Shield‐Spear’ Biological Patch for Fibrosis‐Free Bladder Reconstruction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fibrosis‐free bladder reconstruction remains challenging. This study pioneers an integrated “shield‐spear” patch: The outer anionic hydrogel layer captures GATA6+ macrophages to suppress collagen overexpression, while the inner S100 aptamer‐engineered EVs target Schwann cells to downregulate the TGFβ/Smad pathway—inhibiting fibrosis with enhanced wound

Bioactive Silk Sericin/Bioceramic Nerve Guidance Conduit for Effective Repair of Long‐Gap Transected Peripheral Nerve Injury through Regulating Schwann Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies akermanite among six bioceramics and reveals its ability to enhance Schwann cell's proliferation, migration, and secretion. When combined with silk sericin, the composite conduit synergistically enhances Schwann cell‐mediated regenerative processes.

Treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with allogeneic Schwann cell–derived exosomal vesicles: a case report

Neural Regeneration Research
Schwann cells are essential for the maintenance and function of motor neurons, axonal networks, and the neuromuscular junction. In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, where motor neuron function is progressively lost, Schwann cell function may also be ...
