The introduction of anti-VEGF agents has revolutionized the field of medical retina care by reducing rates of vision loss and ...

Here, we provide an overview of the established and emerging knowledge of the phagocytic roles of two key peripheral glial cell types, Schwann cells (SCs) and olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs). We ...

The peripheral nerve is primarily comprised of axons and Schwann cells, the supporting glial cells that produce myelin to facilitate the rapid conduction of electrical impulses. Schwann cells are ...
