Using histology and spatial sequencing, they demonstrated that Nageotte nodules are abundant in sensory ganglia of those with diabetic neuropathy. They are mainly composed of satellite glia and ...

Granular Cell Tumors. ... which are now believed to originate from Schwann cells. 2 ... Histology. Histologically, granular cell tumors are ill-defined and composed of polygonal, ...

When Schwann cell function returned, so did the mice’s ability to detect vibrations. The team was further able to identify differences in sensory input from Schwann cells using optogenetics, ...

Aged dysfunctional repair Schwann cells may have a role in transthyretin (TTR) amyloid deposition in the peripheral nervous system of patients with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (hATTR), ...

In 2013, they reported that M. leprae hijacks the genes of Schwann cells, which form a fatty substance that insulates peripheral nerve fibres.The bacteria reactivate developmental genes, causing ...

Scientists show that Schwann cells take over functions of immune cells in nerve healing. Similar mechanisms could prevent nerve tumors from growing. Schwann cells are known to protect and repair ...

The researchers used several experimental approaches to identify how Schwann cells help cancer spread. They analyzed Schwann cells in human pancreatic tumors and saw that if the gene signature for ...

In the skin, specialized Schwann cells kick off pain sensations, scientists reported in Science in 2019. Less is known about glia in other organs, such as the spleen glia that intrigue Lucas.

Corneal nonmyelinating Schwann cells illuminated by single‐cell transcriptomics and visualized by protein biomarkers. Journal of Neuroscience Research , 2020; DOI: 10.1002/jnr.24757 Cite This Page : ...
