Remyelination of Demyelinated CNS Axons by Transplanted Human Schwann Cells: The Deleterious Effect of Contaminating Fibroblasts

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2001
Areas of demyelination can be remyelinated by transplanting myelin-forming cells. Schwann cells are the naturally remyelinating cells of the peripheral nervous system and have a number of features that may make them attractive for cell implantation ...

TNFα mediates Schwann cell death by upregulating p75NTR expression without sustained activation of NFκB

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2005
Administration of tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) to axotomised mouse neonatal sciatic nerves increased Schwann cell apoptosis in the distal nerve segments, 5-fold greater than axotomy alone.

Pre-degenerated peripheral nerves co-cultured with bone marrow-derived cells: a new technique for harvesting high-purity Schwann cells

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2016
Schwann cells play an important role in the peripheral nervous system, especially in nerve repair following injury, so artificial nerve regeneration requires an effective technique for obtaining purified Schwann cells.

Sensory Schwann cells set perceptual thresholds for touch and selectively regulate mechanical nociception

open access: yesNature Communications
Previous work identified nociceptive Schwann cells that can initiate pain. Consistent with the existence of inherently mechanosensitive sensory Schwann cells, we found that in mice, the mechanosensory function of almost all nociceptors, including those ...

Edaravone combined with Schwann cell transplantation may repair spinal cord injury in rats

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2015
Edaravone has been shown to delay neuronal apoptosis, thereby improving nerve function and the microenvironment after spinal cord injury. Edaravone can provide a favorable environment for the treatment of spinal cord injury using Schwann cell ...

hiPSC-Derived Schwann Cells Influence Myogenic Differentiation in Neuromuscular Cocultures

open access: yesCells, 2021
Motoneurons, skeletal muscle fibers, and Schwann cells form synapses, termed neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). These control voluntary body movement and are affected in numerous neuromuscular diseases.
