They provide metabolic support to neurons, among other functions, but as no specific genetic markers have been detailed (at least as of 2017), there is still a large gap in understanding their biology ...

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) in Schwann cells (SCs) mediate peripheral nerve function ... Peripheral neurological functions, sciatic nerve integrity, and myelination were analyzed. Quantitative ...

Sep. 25, 2024 — Researchers have mapped variation in human stem cells that explains how cells of an individual may shape a unique 'developmental dance' at the ... Pigs May Be Transmission Route ...

(4) Denervated bands of Schwann cells. Multifocal diabetic neuropathy. Cross section of a paraffin-embedded superficial peroneal nerve specimen from a patient with a subacute progressive ...

Demyelinating diseases are any conditions that damage the protective coating on nerve cells, the myelin sheath. Some common demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system include multiple ...

Here, the authors show that reactivated astrocytes secrete clusterin to impede remyelination by blocking astrocytic removal of myelin debris and oligodendrocyte precursor cell differentiation in ...
