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 ...

In Vitro Reconstruction of Axonal Heat Sensing with a Photothermal Nerve‐on‐a‐Chip

Small, EarlyView.
A photothermal nerve‐on‐a‐chip platform is presented that enables precise, localized heating of sensory axons with simultaneous electrical recording. The system reveals millisecond‐scale dynamics of heat‐evoked neural activity and provides a new approach to study how temperature‐dependent ion channel behavior is translated into axonal firing.

Engineered Neural Tissue (EngNT) Containing Human iPSC-Derived Schwann Cell Precursors Promotes Axon Growth in a Rat Model of Peripheral Nerve Injury

Bioengineering
Tissue engineering has the potential to overcome the limitations of using autografts in nerve gap repair, using cellular biomaterials to bridge the gap and support neuronal regeneration.

Innovative Microneedle Patches for Psoriasis Treatment: A Dual Approach With Methotrexate‐Zinc and Difelikefalin for Enhanced Therapeutic Outcomes

Small, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel dual‐layer microneedle platform for psoriasis treatment, integrating rapid itch relief with sustained immunomodulatory and antibacterial effects. By combining difelikefalin and methotrexate‐zinc, this system effectively targets pruritus, epidermal hyperplasia, immune dysregulation, and infection, offering a promising ...

Audiological Characteristics in Vestibular Schwannoma Patients

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a benign tumor that originates from the Schwann cells of the vestibular nerve sheath in the internal auditory canal. This retrospective study collected data from patients with VS who underwent surgical treatment to identify their demographic characteristics and audiometric features.

Integrated Methylome–Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Epigenomic Remodeling and Rho GTPase–Linked Immune–Epithelial Crosstalk in Atopic Dermatitis

Allergy, EarlyView.
Integrated methylome–transcriptome–microbiome analysis of AD skin identified thousands of DMRs. Rho GTPase signaling and actin–junctional programs emerged as central hubs integrating immune, epithelial, and microbial interactions in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis.

Activation of peripheral NOP receptors reduces periorbital mechanical allodynia evoked by CGRP in mice

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Migraine is a neurovascular disorder largely mediated by calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP). This study explores the role of the nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ)–N/OFQ receptor (NOP) system in CGRP‐induced periorbital mechanical allodynia (PMA) in mice.

Ionotropic glutamate receptor triggered cell signaling in Schwann cells

, 2016
We previously demonstrated that rat Schwann cells (SCs) express the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA-R). In this study, we performed PCR to identify specific subunits of ionotropic glutamate receptors in cultured rat SCs.

Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐
