Schwann cells in regeneration and cancer [PDF]
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 ...

Schwann cells in the inner ear: development, disease, and regeneration [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular NeuroscienceSchwann cells are classically known as the constituent supporting cells of the peripheral nervous system. Beyond the scope of merely myelinating axons of the more saliently known neurons, Schwann cells comprise the majority of peripheral nervous system ...

TRPV4 activation in Schwann cells mediates mechanically induced pain of oral cancer [PDF]
Frontiers in Pain ResearchIntroductionPatients 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

The formation of lipid droplets favors intracellular Mycobacterium leprae survival in SW-10, non-myelinating Schwann cells. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017 Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease that is caused by the obligate intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium leprae (M.leprae), which is the leading cause of all non-traumatic peripheral neuropathies worldwide.

Schwann Cells Accelerate Osteogenesis via the Mif/CD74/FOXO1 Signaling Pathway In Vitro
Stem Cells International, 2022 Schwann cells have been found to promote osteogenesis by an unclear molecular mechanism. To better understand how Schwann cells accelerate osteogenesis, RNA-Seq and LC-MS/MS were utilized to explore the transcriptomic and metabolic response of MC3T3-E1 ...

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.
