Trinity College Dublin now has Ireland's first and only BioBrillouin microscope, which will enable researchers to make giant ...

The intricate, hidden processes that sustain coral life are being revealed through a new microscope developed by scientists ...

We investigated the reactivity and expression of basal lamina collagen by Schwann cells (SCs) cultivated on a supraorganized bovine-derived collagen substrate. SC cultures were obtained from sciatic ...

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes arising in part from glycemic damage to neurons and Schwann cells (SC). While the pathogenic mechanisms of DPN are complex, ...

Schwann cells were cultured from a dissected sciatic nerve of 2-d old Wistar rats. After the culturing, the cells were observed with a phase-contrast microscope and performed rhodamine phalloidin ...

Nerve damage, a characteristic of leprosy, is the cause of patient deformities and a consequence of Schwann cells (SC) infection by Mycobacterium leprae. Although function/dysfunction of SC in human ...

“The Song of the Cell,” the latest work by the Pulitzer Prize-winning oncologist, recounts our evolving understanding of the body’s smallest structural and functional unit — and its ...

Scientists show that Schwann cells take over functions of immune cells in nerve healing. Similar mechanisms could prevent nerve tumors from growing.

Pancreatic cancer cells spread with the help of tracks laid by nerve-supporting cells called Schwann cells.

Cd59 and developmental inflammation are key players in myelinating glial cell development, highlighting the collaboration between glia and the innate immune system to ensure normal neural development.

Peripheral nerves are organ-like structures containing diverse cell types to optimize function. This interactive assembly includes mostly axon-associated Schwann cells, but also endothelial cells of ...
