The association between neural crest‐derived glia and melanocyte lineages throughout development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient cell population that emerges from the dorsal neural tube during neurulation and migrates extensively throughout the embryo. Among their diverse derivatives, glial cells (such as Schwann and satellite ganglionic cells) and melanocytes represent two major lineages. In vitro studies suggested they share a common

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

Secretopathies emerge as a new class of neurocristopathies

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient embryonic population of cells that give rise to a wide range of structures, including craniofacial cartilage and bone, peripheral neurons and glia, as well as components of the cardiac outflow tract, among others.

Chemical Conversion of Human Fibroblasts into Functional Schwann Cells

Stem Cell Reports, 2014
Direct transdifferentiation of somatic cells is a promising approach to obtain patient-specific cells for numerous applications. However, conversion across germ-layer borders often requires ectopic gene expression with unpredictable side effects.

Membrane lipid metabolism as a regulatory frontier in neural crest biology: Roles for sphingolipids, cholesterol, and lipid rafts

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are multipotent, migratory stem‐like cells essential for vertebrate development that contribute broadly to many tissues including the craniofacial skeleton, peripheral nervous system, and pigment‐producing cells. Their development progresses through phases of induction, specification, delamination, migration, and ...

Cellular diversity of the developing chick trigeminal ganglion at single‐cell resolution

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The trigeminal ganglion (TG) integrates sensory input from the face and jaw and is derived from two embryonic cell populations: neural crest and cranial placode. These populations interact during TG development to coordinate specification, differentiation, and organization, but the molecular characteristics of the heterogeneous cell

CD8+ T Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity toward Schwann Cells Promotes Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2013
Background: Damage to Schwann cells has been reported in the development of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), but how Schwann cells are damaged has not been elucidated.

Untethered Electrical Stimulation Using Optoelectricity and Piezoelectricity for Tissue Regeneration

FlexTech, EarlyView.
Untethered electrical stimulation from optoelectronic and piezoelectric materials can aid regeneration of damaged tissue. ABSTRACT Electrical signals are increasingly recognized as important regulators of tissue development and regeneration, with outcomes linked to behaviors including proliferation, differentiation, cell migration, and more.

Transcriptional Regulation Induced by cAMP Elevation in Mouse Schwann Cells

ASN Neuro, 2014
In peripheral nerves, Schwann cell development is regulated by a variety of signals. Some of the aspects of Schwann cell differentiation can be reproduced in vitro in response to forskolin, an adenylyl cyclase activator elevating intracellular cAMP ...
