When Schwann heard about the nucleus, he realized that he had seen a similar structure in the vertebrate notochord—a rodlike structure in the embryo that develops into the spinal column. Sure enough, ...

19) Brain cells grown from human embryonic stem cells Gist F. Croft, Lauren Pietilla, Stephanie Tse, Szilvia Galgoczi, Maria Fenner, Ali H. Brivanlou/Nikon Small World ...

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 ...

Ceph­alopodlike oligodendrocytes and sausage-shaped Schwann cells wrap themselves around ... But video and laser-illuminated microscopes developed in the 1980s and 1990s let researchers monitor ...

Under the microscope, these Schwann cells rapidly activate and send signals to other nerves when they are poked. Now, Ernfors wants to find if these cells have anything to do with chronic pain, ...

World's first trial to test safety of cell regeneration for paralyzed patients. July 31, 2012— -- Marc Buoniconti has been paralyzed from the neck down for 27 years after a college football ...

Schwann Cell LRP1 Regulates Remak Bundle Ultrastructure and Axonal Interactions to Prevent Neuropathic Pain. Journal of Neuroscience, 2013; 33 (13): 5590 DOI: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.3342-12.2013; ...
