To unravel how Schwann cells differentiate to begin repairing peripheral nerve damage, the researchers looked at mouse models of Charcot Marie Tooth disease (CMT), a type of hereditary neuropathy.

Peripheral nerves ... This depends on the Schwann cells that surround the nerve fibres. These cells do not die after nerve damage, but instead are responsible for coordinating the breakdown ...

The researchers applied a stain that fluoresces bright red in the presence of viral replication to 3D peripheral nerve tissue cultures grown from human stem cells and rat embryos. After observing ...

A new study published in Nature Neuroscience provides evidence that aging and injury lead to the buildup of senescent neurons ...

Nageotte nodules, once overlooked, may hold the key to understanding and treating diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Peripheral neuropathy is nerve damage usually ... One theory is that myeloma cells release a protein that may damage nerve cells by causing a protective layer around them (the myelin sheath ...

They provide support and nutrition to peripheral nerves and regulate their calcium levels. These factors are important for proper nerve conduction. In addition, satellite cells release ...

These illnesses destroy brain cells that control movements such ... your brain and spinal cord to other parts of your body. Peripheral nerve vasculitis. It happens when your immune system attacks ...

The condition is thought to be caused by direct peripheral nerve cell damage which disrupts or rewires normal nerve signalling pathways, resulting in persistent pain, they add. Prompted by the ...
