Abstract The Prx gene in Schwann cells encodes L-and S-periaxin, two abundant PDZ
domain proteins thought to have a role in the stabilization of myelin in the peripheral …

Peripheral nerve injury accounts for roughly 2.8% of all trauma patients with an annual cost
of 7 billion USD in the US alone. Current treatment options rely on surgical intervention with …

In peripheral nerves, Schwann cells (SCs) form contacts with axons, other SCs, and
extracellular matrix components that are critical for their migration, differentiation, and …

Despite its frequent use the concept of parenting is difficult to define. We use it to refer to a
relationship, a process, and a group of activities.“To parent” is an active verb which denotes …

We have studied the transcription factors SCIP and Krox-20 in differentiating Schwann cells—
during normal development, in experimentally induced degenerating and regenerating …

Previously we proposed that Schwann cell development from the neural crest is a twostep
process that involves the generation of one main intermediate cell type, the Schwann cell …

Protein zero (P0) and peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) are most prominently expressed
by myelinating Schwann cells as components of compact myelin of the peripheral nervous …

Recent years have improved our understanding of the plasticity of cell types behind
inducing, building, and maintaining different types of teeth. The latest efforts were aided by …

Neural stem/progenitor cell (NS/PC)based therapies have shown exciting potential for
regeneration of the central nervous system (CNS) and NS/PC cultures represent an …

OBJECTIVE: Amniotic fluid mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the potential to
differentiate into neuronal stem cells in vitro. We evaluated using amniotic fluid MSCs to …
