FGF5 Regulates Schwann Cell Migration and Adhesion
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020 The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family polypeptides play key roles in promoting tissue regeneration and repair. FGF5 is strongly up-regulated in Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system following injury; however, a role for FGF5 in peripheral ...

SOX10 transactivates S100B to suppress Schwann cell proliferation and to promote myelination. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Schwann cells are an important cell source for regenerative therapy for neural disorders. We investigated the role of the transcription factor sex determining region Y (SRY)-box 10 (SOX10) in the proliferation and myelination of Schwann cells.

Restoration of SMN in Schwann cells reverses myelination defects and improves neuromuscular function in spinal muscular atrophy [PDF]
, 2016 Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by low levels of SMN protein, primarily affecting lower motor neurons. Recent evidence from SMA and related conditions suggests that glial cells can influence disease severity.

Long non-coding RNA NONMMUG014387 promotes Schwann cell proliferation after peripheral nerve injury
Neural Regeneration Research, 2017 Schwann cells play a critical role in peripheral nerve regeneration through dedifferentiation and proliferation. In a previous study, we performed microarray analysis of the sciatic nerve after injury.

Myelination: all about Rac n roll. [PDF]
, 2007 During the development of the peripheral nervous system, Schwann cells select individual axons from a nerve bundle and establish a one-to-one relationship through a process termed radial sorting. Recent findings identify the Rho family GTPase Rac1 as the

Nature Communications, 2023 Neuropathy is a feature more frequently observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) than other tumors. Schwann cells, the most prevalent cell type in peripheral nerves, migrate toward tumor cells and associate with poor prognosis in PDAC.
