Researchers at Cincinnati Children's have identified a potential new way to relieve chronic pain linked to neurofibromatosis ...

Researchers in Germany report a major finding in the field of neuroscience that could have important ramifications in new pain therapies targeting Schwann cells in the skin. Classical understanding of ...

AMES, Iowa – Researchers looking for ways to regenerate nerves can have a hard time obtaining key tools of their trade. Schwann cells are an example. They form sheaths around axons, the tail-like ...

Sensory Schwann cells positive for SOX10 shown in red, sensory-ending within the Meissner corpuscle in green, SOX2-postive cell at the base of the Meissner corpuscle shown in silver. Special receptor ...

Damage to the body's peripheral nerves can cause pain and movement disorders. Researchers have recently investigated how damaged nerves can regenerate better. They found that fat tissue strongly ...

Damage to the body's peripheral nerves can cause pain and movement disorders. Researchers at the Leipzig University have recently investigated how damaged nerves can regenerate better. They found that ...

Microscopic cross-section through a peripheral nerve bundle (dark blue), which contains hundreds of nerve fibers coated with Schwann cells. Numerous large fat cells (light blue) can be seen in the ...
