Two of the most prevalent human viruses worldwide, herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2
(HSV-1 and HSV-2, respectively), cause a variety of diseases, including cold sores, genital …

Satellite glial cells (SGCs) closely envelop cell bodies of neurons in sensory, sympathetic
and parasympathetic ganglia. This unique organization is not found elsewhere in the …

Sensory neurons located in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) convey sensory information from
peripheral tissue to the brain. After peripheral nerve injury, sensory neurons switch to a …

Sensory neurons with cell bodies in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) represent a useful model to
study axon regeneration. Whereas regeneration and functional recovery occurs after …

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) causes clinically significant illness during acute and recurrent
infection accompanied by robust innate and acquired immune responses. Innate immune …

Astroglia are neural cells, heterogeneous in form and function, which act as supportive
elements of the central nervous system; astrocytes contribute to all aspects of neural …

Periodontitis is considered a non-communicable chronic disease caused by a dysbiotic
microbiota, which generates a low-grade systemic inflammation that chronically damages …

Peripheral nerve injury disrupts the normal functions of sensory and motor neurons by
damaging the integrity of axons and Schwann cells. In contrast to the central nervous …

Satellite glial cells (SGCs) are homeostatic cells enveloping the somata of peripheral
sensory and autonomic neurons. A wide variety of neuronal stressors trigger activation of …

Swine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (HEV) has been shown to have a capability
to gain access to the cell bodies of sensory neurons after peripheral inoculation, resulting in …
