Schwann cells are a type of satellite cell that function similarly to oligodendrocytes in the CNS. They create a myelin sheath around nerves, which helps insulate them for faster conduction.
Cell biology articles from across Nature Portfolio Atom RSS Feed Cell biology is the discipline of biological sciences that studies the structure, physiology, growth, reproduction and death of cells.
The conclusions of Schleiden and Schwann are considered to represent the official formulation of 'cell theory' and their names are almost as closely linked to cell theory as are those of Watson ...
The answer is that most cells are able to reduce the transport of glucose inside the cell when they are exposed to hyperglycemia, so that their internal glucose concentration stays constant.
Solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electrical energy, are becoming increasingly widespread, with many households and industries worldwide now relying on them as a source of ...
Schwann cell differentiation and maturation are precisely controlled, relying on the synchronized expression of differentiation-enhancing genes and inhibition of negative regulators (Monk et al., 2015 ...
Objective The impact of glia cells during GI carcinogenesis and in cancer pain is unknown. Here, we demonstrate a novel mechanism how Schwann cells (SCs) become activated in the pancreatic cancer (PCa ...
Orientation of Schwann cells was not observed by inhibiting stress fiber formation using Y-27632, an inhibitor of small guanosine triphosphatases (GTPase) Rho-associated kinase. Our results indicate ...
Electrospun conductive nanofiber yarns for accelerating mesenchymal stem cells differentiation and maturation into Schwann cell-like cells under a combination of electrical stimulation and chemical ...
