We explain what a neuron looks like, what it does, ... As the membrane potential returns to its resting state, ... Myelin is created by Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system and ...

The potential of engrafted Schwann cells (SCs) to promote axonal regeneration in the injured spinal cord is now well established. 4, 5, 6 It was demonstrated that SCs could synthesize many kinds ...

Nitric oxide targets ion channel TRPA1 in Schwann cells, which excites the neuron and ... our study is the first to directly connect Schwann cells to migraine pain. It offers potential new ...

Nerve grafts contain aligned tissue structures and Schwann cells that support and guide neuron growth through the damaged area, encouraging function to be restored.

Recently in Neuron 1, Taveggia et al. demonstrated that axonal neuregulin-1 type III, a regulator of myelin growth, is required to induce the differentiation of myelinating Schwann cells in dorsal ...
