Schwann Cells in Phylogeny [PDF]
, 2003 Schwann cells are the nonneuronal cells that ensheath peripheral axons. Brought to prominence by Theodor Schwann in 1839 these cells have, until recently, been considered to be relatively passive components of the nerve, apart from their vital role in providing myelin sheaths around the larger axons.

Schwann cell energy to die for
Nature Neuroscience, 2020A new study shows that, immediately after axon injury, glycolysis is increased in Schwann cells to provide axons with energy and prevent them from degenerating. The authors also identify possible therapeutic targets that could be modulated to promote axonal protection.

Cytokine and chemokine interactions with Schwann cells: the neuroimmunology of Schwann cells
2007INTRODUCTION Cytokines, first described as products of the cells of the inflammatory/immune system, are increasingly recognised as acting on non-inflammatory cells as well as being produced by non-inflammatory cells. Nowhere is this more apparent than with cells of the peripheral (PNS) and central (CNS) nervous systems.

Schwann cells transplanted into the CNS
International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience, 1993AbstractA small volume of purified Schwann cells, cultured from early postnatal rat sciatic nerve, was injected into the hippocampus or fimbria of syngeneic adult hosts. The procedure caused minimal structural disturbance at the transplantation site, with close graft‐host contact and maximal opportunity for integration.The donor Schwann cells were ...

Developmental Regulation of Schwann Cell Precursors and Schwann Cell Generation
1997Most myelin-forming and non-myelin-forming Schwann cells of peripheral nerves develop from the neural crest (Anderson, 1993; Bronner-Fraser, 1993; Jessen and Mirsky, 1992; Le Douarin et al., 1991; Marusich and Weston, 1991). The other main glial types in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), are also thought to be derived from the crest.

Schwann Cell Dysfunction in Acromegaly
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1970ABSTRACT The pathologic features observed in a sural nerve biopsy from a subject with acromegalic peripheral neuropathy are presented. Examination of individually teased nerve fibers revealed diffuse segmental demyelination. Since each internodal segment represents the territory occupied by a single Schwann cell, the presence of the segmental loss of ...

Epigenetic Control of Schwann Cells
The Neuroscientist, 2018The journey of Schwann cells from their origin in the neural crest to their ensheathment and myelination of peripheral nerves is a remarkable one. Their apparent static function in enabling saltatory conduction of mature nerve is not only vital for long-term health of peripheral nerve but also belies an innate capacity of terminally differentiated ...

Cell, 1978
Purified rat Schwann cells were found to proliferate very slowly in normal growth medium containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS). Crude extracts of bovine pituitary or brain markedly enhanced Schwann cell growth, while similar extracts of nerve roots, liver and kidney did not.

Schwann cell precursors and their development
Glia, 1991AbstractDuring development of peripheral nerves, an apparently homogeneous pool of embryonic Schwann cells gives rise to two morphologically and antigenically distinct mature Schwann cell types. These are the myelin‐forming cells associated with axons of larger diameter and the non‐myelin‐forming cells associated with axons of smaller diameter.The ...

Astrocytoma and Schwann cells in coculture
Molecular and Chemical Neuropathology, 1996Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is the principal intermediate filament protein found in mature astrocytes. Although the exact function of GFAP is poorly understood, it is presumed to stabilize the astrocyte's cytoskeleton and help in maintaining cell shape. Previous studies from our laboratory have shown that when astrocytes were cocultured with
