Schwann cells are a type of glial cells of the ... Myelin sheath of the neuron. A schwann cell envelops and ... Brain stimulation restores synaptic plasticity in Alzheimer’s mouse model.

Notch signaling is incompatible with the development of B cells and neurons, while promoting the development of T cells and certain types of glia, including Schwann cells (Morrison et al., 2000 ...

Aberrant Schwann Cell Lipid Metabolism Linked to Mitochondrial Deficits Leads to Axon Degeneration and Neuropathy. Neuron , 2013; 77 (5): 886 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2013.01.012 Cite This Page : ...

The new cell type is called the “rosehip neuron” since the cells are shaped like the fruit of rose bushes. ... but not in rodents that are frequently used as model species in neuroscience.

New research reveals for the first time that despite the fragility of axons, Schwann cells — which surround axons within nerves like a glove covers a hand — can come to the assistance of injured axons ...

Scientists have for the first time established a sensory neuron model able to mass-reproduce two key sensory neuron types involved in pain sensation, enabling the easy generation of large numbers ...

Neuron models provide a non-invasive way to investigate the brain, but most existing models are either computationally intensive or cannot model complex neuronal responses.

Co-first authors Kristen Thomas, PhD, and Mary Patton, PhD, and co-author Anjana Nityanandam, PhD, St. Jude Department of Developmental Neurobiology created a cell model of the human ...
