The great plasticity of Schwann cells (SCs), the myelinating glia of the peripheral nervous
system (PNS), is a critical feature in the context of peripheral nerve regeneration following …

Simple Summary Skeletal muscle mass is an important economic trait, and muscle
development and growth is a crucial factor to supply enough meat for human consumption …

Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases are a central component in signaling networks in a
multitude of mammalian cell types. This review covers recent advances on specific functions …

Although both extrinsic and intrinsic factors have been identified that orchestrate the
differentiation and maturation of oligodendrocytes, less is known about the intracellular …

Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a key second messenger that regulates signal
transduction pathways pivotal for numerous biological functions. Intracellular cAMP levels …

Myogenesis is a complex and tightly regulated process, the end result of which is the
formation of a multinucleated myofibre with contractile capability. Typically, this process is …

Physical damage to the peripheral nerves triggers Schwann cell injury response in the distal
nerves in an event termed Wallerian degeneration: the Schwann cells degrade their myelin …

A simple, efficient and green procedure has been developed for the synthesis of 2, 4, 5-
trisubstituted imidazoles catalyzed by zirconium (IV) acetylacetonate using ultrasonic …

Neurodegenerative diseases do affect glial or neuronal cells in both the peripheral and
central nervous systems. Although they are characterized by different features and a …

Oligodendrocyte (OL) development relies on many extracellular cues, most of which are
secreted cytokines from neighboring neural cells. Although it is generally accepted that both …
