Reprogramming diminishes retention of Mycobacterium leprae in Schwann cells and elevates bacterial transfer property to fibroblasts [v3; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/2ae]

F1000Research, 2013
Background: Bacterial pathogens can manipulate or subvert host tissue cells to their advantage at different stages during infection, from initial colonization in primary host niches to dissemination. Recently, we have shown that Mycobacterium leprae (ML),

Aging Schwann cells in vitro

European Journal of Cell Biology, 2007
Schwann cells (SCs) can support the regeneration of lesioned fiber tracts of the peripheral and central nervous system and have been transplanted alone or in combination with synthetic nerve guides. For neuronal tissue engineering purposes, the cells must be isolated from small biopsies and expanded in vitro. In this study we analyze the impact of cell

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.

The Schwann Cell

Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2004
The neurones are the cells of the nervous system and are surrounded and protected by glials cells. In the peripheral nervous system the Schwann cells (SC) are the glia of the nerves. The prolongations or neurites (axon and dendrite) of the neurones bodies are surrounded by the SC to form nervous fibers.

Macrophage Dab1 Links Early Hypoxia to Adaptive Angiogenesis to Drive Peripheral Nerve Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram illustrating the Dab1‐linked hypoxia signaling pathway that accelerates angiogenesis and consequent nerve regeneration. Following PNI, a hypoxic microenvironment develops. Hypoxia induces macrophage Dab1 phosphorylation, resulting in NHE‐1 upregulation, HIF‐1α stabilization, and VEGF‐A expression. This cascade promotes angiogenesis in

Schwann Cells in Physical Nerve Injury and Tumor Perineural Invasion: A Functional Overview and Comparison. [PDF]

Cancer Med
ABSTRACT The nervous system exhibits remarkable stability, making its repair challenging. Compared to the central nervous system, peripheral nerve injuries demonstrate a greater potential for regeneration. Schwann cells, the unique myelinating glial cells of the peripheral nervous system, possess striking plasticity and support nerve regeneration ...

Beyond Conventional: A Review of Phytochemical‐Hydrogel Systems Enhanced by AI and 3D Printing for Chronic Wound Management

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review systematically bridges chronic wound pathology with natural phytochemical hydrogel therapeutics. A pathology‐to‐phytochemical mechanistic mapping framework is established, linking specific wound hallmarks to targeted phytochemical interventions.

Establishing Sensory Neurons as Therapeutic Targets in Peripheral Neuropathy Driven by Polyglutamine Expanded Murine ATXN3

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Repeat expansion disorders frequently involve peripheral neuropathy, yet mechanisms remain unclear. Using a spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) Knock‐In Atxn3Q300/Q6, we identify progressive sensorimotor deficits, peripheral nerve pathology, and dorsal root ganglia RNA splicing dysregulation.

Biomimetic Nanofiber Scaffold Coated With Acellular Matrices for Uterine Myometrial Tissue Engineering

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of acellular matrix generation from human uterine fibroblast cells, coating on polycaprolactone electrospun nanofibers, and subsequent in vitro and in vivo characterization. A tissue‐engineered scaffold tailored for uterine myometrium‐specific regeneration is designed. The electrospinning technique was used to fabricate aligned

Silencing of the Charcot–Marie–Tooth associated MTMR2 gene decreases proliferation and enhances cell death in primary cultures of Schwann cells

Neurobiology of Disease, 2007
Loss of function of the myotubularin (MTM)-related protein 2 (MTMR2) in Schwann cells causes Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease type 4B1, a severe demyelinating neuropathy, but the consequences of MTMR2 disruption in Schwann cells are unknown.
