Axonal growth arrests after an increased accumulation of Schwann cells expressing senescence markers and stromal cells in acellular nerve allografts [PDF]
, 2016 Acellular nerve allografts (ANAs) and other nerve constructs do not reliably facilitate axonal regeneration across long defects (>3 cm). Causes for this deficiency are poorly understood.

Interaction between Schwann Cells and Osteoblasts In Vitro [PDF]
, 2014 Aim Given the well-known properties of Schwann cells in promoting nerve regeneration, transplanting Schwann cells into implant sockets might be an effective method to promote sensory responses of osseointegrated implants.

Co-cultures with stem cell-derived human sensory neurons reveal regulators of peripheral myelination [PDF]
, 2017 Effective bidirectional signalling between axons and Schwann cells is essential for both the development and maintenance of peripheral nerve function. We have established conditions by which human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived sensory neurons can

Calcium Signaling in Schwann cells
Neuroscience Letters, 2020 In addition to providing structural, metabolic and trophic support to neurons, glial cells of the central, peripheral and enteric nervous systems (CNS, PNS, ENS) respond to and regulate neural activity. One of the most well characterized features of this response is an increase of intracellular calcium.

Schwann cell dysfunction in uraemia [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 1970 Examination of individual sural nerve fibres revealed segmental demyelination, in 10 out of 12 subjects with uraemia. Peripheral neuropathy was present in only two cases. The complex biochemical changes occurring with dialysis unmask the underlying demyelination in subjects with a latent neuropathy.

Distinct molecular interactions mediate neuronal process outgrowth on non-neuronal cell surfaces and extracellular matrices. [PDF]
, 1986 We have compared neurite outgrowth on extracellular matrix (ECM) constituents to outgrowth on glial and muscle cell surfaces. Embryonic chick ciliary ganglion (CG) neurons regenerate neurites rapidly on surfaces coated with laminin (LN), fibronectin (FN),

Notch and Schwann cell transformation [PDF]
Oncogene, 2004 Benign plexiform neurofibromas in NF1 patients can transform spontaneously into malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs). Although mutations in the p53 gene have been found in a subset of MPNSTs and mouse models support a role for p53 mutations in malignant conversion, we found that each of three Schwann cell lines derived from human MPNSTs ...

Studies on cultured Schwann cells: the induction of myelin synthesis, and the control of their proliferation by a new growth factor [PDF]
, 1981 We have recently described the use of immunological methods to identify and purify rat Schwann cells. In dissociated cultures of neonatal sciatic nerve, all of the cells can be identified by antigenic criteria as either Schwann cells or fibroblasts.

Schwann Cells of the Bone Marrow [PDF]
Blood, 1970 Abstract Nerves containing numerous Schwann cells can be found in bone marrow with routine histological methods. Thin nerve bundles and single nerve fibers containing Schwann cells can be identified histologically with help of methods which demonstrate nerve fibers and myelin. Smears of marrow stained with the May-Grünwald-Giemsa method
