- any cell that covers the nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system and forms the myelin sheath
How To Use Schwann cell In A Sentence
- Studies on purified rat sciatic nerve Schwann cells have shown that proliferation invitro depends on mitogenic factors.
- To develop a procedure by which Schwann cell and myelin in the peripheral nerve could be removed while the basal lamina tubes remained intact , and to obtain a long acellular nerve scaffold.
- Rat sciatic nerve Schwann cells were assayed for incorporation of DNA synthesis precursors, as described.
- Objective To study the effect of Schwann cell enclosed by antibody of neural cell adhesion molecule L1 on injured spinal cord.
- Rat sciatic nerve Schwann cells were assayed for incorporation of DNA synthesis precursors, as described.
- After the ascorbate treatment, the Schwann cells begin to elongate and to ensheath the neighboring axon. PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
- Damage to the Schwann cells leads to impairment of nerve conduction.
- Do active axons stimulate developing Schwann cells or their precursors to divide?
- By 45 days of age, dorsal funiculi of irradiated spinal cords are well populated with fibres myelinated by oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells.
- It is also possible, however, that direct compression of axons may induce axonal damage independent of Schwann cell dysfunction.
