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 ...

Regulating Cells Fate and Function to Facilitate Bone Regeneration via Designing Programmable Bio‐Interactive Materials

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This article aims to elucidate the biological mechanisms of bone repair and the evolution of material design, highlighting key cellular and molecular processes. It further proposes strategies and prospects for programmable bio‐interactive materials, which enable precisely guided bone tissue regeneration by dynamically regulating cell behavior and the ...

Embryonic Corneal Schwann Cells Express Some Schwann Cell Marker mRNAs, but No Mature Schwann Cell Marker Proteins [PDF]

Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2009
Embryonic chick nerves encircle the cornea in pericorneal tissue until embryonic day (E)9, then penetrate the anterior corneal stroma, invade the epithelium, and branch over the corneal surface through E20. Adult corneal nerves, cut during transplantation or LASIK, never fully regenerate.

miR-148b-3p promotes migration of Schwann cells by targeting cullin-associated and neddylation-dissociated 1

Neural Regeneration Research, 2016
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that negatively adjust gene expression in multifarious biological processes. However, the regulatory effects of miRNAs on Schwann cells remain poorly understood.

Nucleoporin Seh1 maintains Schwann cell homeostasis by regulating genome stability and necroptosis

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: Schwann cells play critical roles in peripheral neuropathies; however, the regulatory mechanisms of their homeostasis remain largely unknown. Here, we show that nucleoporin Seh1, a component of nuclear pore complex, is important for Schwann cell

An Innervated Human Skin Equivalent that Electrically Encodes Mechanical and Thermal Stimuli

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An innervated human skin equivalent is integrated with high‐density microelectrode arrays to reveal how engineered free nerve ending–like structures translate touch and temperature into electrical codes. Mechanical indentation and thermal stimulation engage the engineered somatosensory circuitry and evoke distinct firing and waveform signatures ...

A Multidimensional Engineering Strategy Reprograms Microglia via Targeted and Sustained‐Release Extracellular Vesicles for Spinal Cord Injury Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A multifunctional EV‐based nanoplatform (Ang‐TEVs@Gel) was engineered via preconditioning, surface targeting, and ROS‐responsive hydrogel encapsulation to reprogram microglia. This system restored autophagy via miR‐664a‐3p/PIK3CA axis, cleared myelin debris, resolved neuroinflammation, and promoted axon remyelination, ultimately achieving robust motor ...

Dual‐Targeting Biomimetic Nanozymes Loaded Microneedle Patch Promotes Scarless Wound Healing Through Anti‐Inflammatory and Anti‐Fibrotic Effects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study developed a dual‐targeting biomimetic nanozyme hybrid system (Cu‐CeO2@ABs‐FTP) and integrated it with HAMA hydrogel to fabricate a microneedle patch (CAF@MN). The patch promotes fibroblast‐mediated wound repair, targets macrophages to induce M2 polarization, and targets myofibroblasts to exert anti‐fibrotic effects, thereby enabling rapid ...

Unravelling the Distinct Phenotype and Mechanosensitive Properties of Different Tendon Cell Populations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tendon interfascicular and fascicular matrix cells are isolated and cultured, revealing distinct phenotypes and mechanosensitive responses. Interfascicular matrix cells exhibit marked stiffness‐dependent phenotypic plasticity, whereas fascicular matrix cells remain comparatively stable.

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.
