What’s in a name when it comes to your burger? The USDA wants meat made from animal cells labeled as “cell-cultivated” — not ...

Myelination in the peripheral nervous system requires close contact between Schwann cells and the axon, but the underlying molecular basis remains largely unknown. Here we show that cell adhesion ...

After injuries, Schwann cells become the 'repair task force' that restores axons The peripheral nervous system largely owes its ability to regenerate to the high level of plasticity of Schwann cells.

This paper shows that Notch signaling regulates the differentiation of Schwann cell precursors and the proliferation of Schwann cells, and acts as a break on myelination of peripheral nerves.

Phase 1 clinical trials for Schwann-cell injections could lead to cure for paralysis, Miami Project scientists say.

In the article entitled " Safety of Autologous Human Schwann Cell Transplantation in Subacute Thoracic Spinal Cord Injury " the authors present the results obtained from three different doses of ...

Scientists say a key protein in Schwann cells performs a critical, perhaps overarching, role in regulating the recovery of peripheral nerves after injury. The discovery has implications for ...

Results from the $30 million NTP studies demonstrated that cell phone radiation caused Schwann cell cancers of the heart and brain gliomas in rats, as well as DNA damage in the brain.

A study carried out at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine for "The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis" has found that transplanting self-donated Schwann cells (SCs, the principal ...

A Sherwood Park man has undergone a Schwann-cell transplant in Florida as part of medical trial in his determined effort to walk again.
