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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

HGF and Met are expressed not only in neurons but also in nonneuronal cells within the nervous system, including microglia 15 and Schwann cells, for which HGF is a mitogen 16.
