Toward Defining the Regenerative Potential of Olfactory Mucosa: Establishment of Schwann Cell-Free Adult Canine Olfactory Ensheathing Cell Preparations Suitable for Transplantation

Cell Transplantation, 2013
Olfactory mucosa (OM)-derived olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) are attractive candidates for autologous cell transplantation-based therapy of nervous system injury.

Rab27a/Slp2-a complex is involved in Schwann cell myelination

Neural Regeneration Research, 2016
Myelination of Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system is an intricate process involving myelin protein trafficking. Recently, the role and mechanism of the endosomal/lysosomal system in myelin formation were emphasized.

Lithium promotes proliferation and suppresses migration of Schwann cells

Neural Regeneration Research, 2020
Schwann cell proliferation, migration and remyelination of regenerating axons contribute to regeneration after peripheral nervous system injury. Lithium promotes remyelination by Schwann cells and improves peripheral nerve regeneration.

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

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

Neural 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.

A Magneto‐Mechanically Activated Nerve Guidance Conduit Promotes Peripheral Nerve Regeneration via TIMP1‐Mediated Membrane Tension Transfer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a magneto‐mechanical strategy that incorporates FP@MSCs into an aligned PCL/GelMA nerve guidance conduit. Magnetic stimulation increases membrane tension in FP@MSCs, triggering cytoskeletal remodeling, Schwann cell‐like differentiation, and TIMP1 secretion. TIMP1 activates ITGB1/CD63–FAK signaling in NE‐4C cells, increasing membrane

Data on the effect of in vivo knockdown using artificial ErbB3 miRNA on Remak bundle structure

Data in Brief, 2017
Mature Schwann cells, the peripheral nervous system (PNS) glial cells, have two major roles for neuronal axons (Bunge, 1993) [1]. For large diameter axons, Schwann cells form myelin sheaths with multiple layers.

In Transected Nerves, Distal Repair Schwann Cells at the Injury Site Direct and Accelerate Axonal Regrowth. [PDF]

Glia
After nerve transection in larval zebrafish, proximal and distal Schwann cells have distinct functions at the injury site. Distal repair Schwann cells promote axonal regrowth. Axonal regrowth is normal in mutants with only a few macrophages. ABSTRACT In vertebrate peripheral nerves, damaged axons can regrow after injury, but the outcomes of ...

Advancing Human Skin Equivalents: The Crucial Role of Neurovascular Integration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review discusses the importance of integrating vascular and peripheral nerve systems into human skin equivalents (HSEs) to better recapitulate native skin physiology. Recent advances in vascularized, innervated, and neurovascularized HSEs are highlighted, together with emerging bioengineering strategies, current challenges, and future ...

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

Neurobiology 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.
