Following an injury, such as a traumatic crush injury, the peripheral nervous system is itself often able to effectively regenerate. This regeneration capacity is mainly attributable to the Schwann ...

Cossart, now a visiting scientist at EMBL Heidelberg in Germany, calls the work on Schwann cell reprogramming a “very interesting” line of research and notes that these kinds of findings highlight ...

Depending on the location, different glial cell types make myelin in a different manner. Schwann cells make myelin in the peripheral nervous system (PNS: nerves) and oligodendrocytes in the ...

A new study published in The New England Journal of Medicine showed that by 4 weeks of treatment, bedaquiline monotherapy ...

It will be marketed under the name Gomekli. Neurofibromatosis is a rare genetic condition in which tumors grow on Schwann cells, which act as insulation to protect nerve cells. “The Schwann ...

N. Hertzog et al., Hypoxia-induced conversion of sensory Schwann cells into repair cells is regulated by HDAC8, Nature Communications, 9 January 2025, DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-55835-9 ...

Other iPSC-based models affecting neural crest lineages include Schwann cell and melanocyte-related disorders, including our effort to model human melanoma in pluripotent stem cells. Modeling herpes ...

This regeneration capacity is mainly attributable to the Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system. These cells are quick-change artists that can transform themselves into repair cells when ...
