The Effect of Schwann Cells/Schwann Cell-Like Cells on Cell Therapy for Peripheral Neuropathy [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022 Peripheral neuropathy is a common neurological issue that leads to sensory and motor disorders. Over time, the treatment for peripheral neuropathy has primarily focused on medications for specific symptoms and surgical techniques. Despite the different advantages of these treatments, functional recovery remains less than ideal.

Denervated Schwann cells attract macrophages by secretion of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in a process regulated by interleukin-6 and LIF [PDF]
, 2002 Injury to peripheral nerves results in the infiltration of immune cells, which remove axonal- and myelin-derived material. Schwann cells could play a key role in this process by regulating macrophage infiltration.

The immunocompetence of Schwann cells [PDF]
Muscle & Nerve, 2007 AbstractSchwann cells are the myelinating glial cells of the peripheral nervous system that support and ensheath axons with myelin to enable rapid saltatory signal propagation in the axon. Immunocompetence, however, has only recently been recognized as an important feature of Schwann cells.

Schwann cells and trigeminal neuralgia [PDF]
Molecular Pain, 2020 Schwann cells are components of the peripheral nerve myelin sheath, which supports and nourishes axons. Upon injury of the trigeminal nerve, Schwann cells are activated and cause trigeminal neuralgia by engulfing the myelin sheath and secreting various neurotrophic factors.

Directly induced human Schwann cell precursors as a valuable source of Schwann cells [PDF]
Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2020 AbstractBackgroundSchwann cells (SCs) are primarily responsible for regeneration and repair of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Renewable and lineage-restricted SC precursors (SCPs) are considered highly desirable and promising cell sources for the production of SCs and for studies of SC lineage development, but SCPs are extremely limited. Here, we

Ribosomal trafficking is reduced in Schwann cells following induction of myelination. [PDF]
, 2015 Local synthesis of proteins within the Schwann cell periphery is extremely important for efficient process extension and myelination, when cells undergo dramatic changes in polarity and geometry.

Embryonic Schwann cell development: the biology of Schwann cell precursors and early Schwann cells
Journal of Anatomy, 1997 The cellular events leading to the generation of Schwann cells from the neural crest have recently been clarified and it is now possible to outline a relatively simple model of the Schwann cell lineage in the rat and mouse. Neural crest cells have to undergo 3 main developmental transitions to become mature Schwann cells.

Hydrogen peroxide is a neuronal alarmin that triggers specific RNAs, local translation of Annexin A2, and cytoskeletal remodeling in Schwann cells [PDF]
, 2018 Schwann cells are key players in neuro-regeneration: They sense "alarm" signals released by degenerating nerve terminals and differentiate toward a proregenerative phenotype, with phagocytosis of nerve debris and nerve guidance.

Myelinophagy: Schwann cells dine in [PDF]
Journal of Cell Biology, 2015 When nerve injury occurs, the axon and myelin fragments distal to the injury site have to be cleared away before repair. In this issue, Gomez-Sanchez et al. (2015; J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201503019) find that clearance of the damaged myelin within Schwann cells occurs not by phagocytosis but rather via selective autophagy, in a ...

Restoration of SMN in Schwann cells reverses myelination defects and improves neuromuscular function in spinal muscular atrophy [PDF]
, 2016 Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by low levels of SMN protein, primarily affecting lower motor neurons. Recent evidence from SMA and related conditions suggests that glial cells can influence disease severity.
