Schwann cells in neuroblastoma

European Journal of Cancer, 1995
Why should we consider Schwann cells when we are interested in the biology of neuroblastomas (NBs)? Although we are familiar with the term "stroma-rich" NB, we basically think of a favourable prognostic subgroup, histologically distinguished by the development of a prominent Schwann cell-stroma.

Schwann cell differentiation

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1996
Recent studies of Schwann cell differentiation in vivo and in vitro have provided new insights into determinative signal transduction events both at the cell surface and in the nucleus. Several polypeptide growth factors and their receptors, most notably the neuregulins and receptors of the ErbB family, have been implicated in the specification of cell

Immunomodulation by Schwann cells in disease

Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy, 2019
Schwann cells are the principal glial cells of the peripheral nervous system which maintain neuronal homeostasis. Schwann cells support peripheral nerve functions and play a critical role in many pathological processes including injury-induced nerve repair, neurodegenerative diseases, infections, neuropathic pain and cancer.

Biology of Schwann cells

2013
The fundamental roles of Schwann cells during peripheral nerve formation and regeneration have been recognized for more than 100 years, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms that integrate Schwann cell and axonal functions continue to be elucidated.

Purification of Schwann Cells

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2014
This article introduces methods for the acute purification and primary culture of Schwann cells from the mouse sciatic nerve. Immunopanning can be used to isolate Schwann cells from intact nerves during early postnatal development as well as to purify Schwann cells from adult nerves following sciatic nerve injury.

The Schwann cell

2021
Abstract Theodor Schwann, a German physiologist and one of the founding fathers of cellular theory, was the first to hypothesize the association between myelin (the insulating fatty substance surrounding peripheral nerve axons) and the cells that later took his name.

The Schwann Cell

1982
Although Schwann cells were not a topic in the previous series of this Handbook, their properties were covered in a general review of the peripheral nerve by Porcellati.1 In addition, aspects of protein and lipid metabolism in peripheral nerve undergoing Wallerian degeneration were reviewed.2,3 Interest in the peripheral nervous system has grown over ...

Mechanism of phagocytosis by Schwann cells

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1986
33B rat Schwannoma cell line is known to exhibit phagocytic properties analogous to those of normal Schwann cells. The mechanism of phagocytosis by this cell line was investigated by studying the effect of known modulators of phagocytosis on the uptake of latex particles by these cells. Treatments which block energy production of the host cell, such as
