Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is an intermediate filament (IF) III protein uniquely found
in astrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS), non-myelinating Schwann cells in the …

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is the main intermediate filament protein in mature
astrocytes, but also an important component of the cytoskeleton in astrocytes during …

The intermediate filament protein, nestin, is a widely employed marker of multipotent neural
stem cells (NSCs). Recent in vitro studies have implicated nestin in a number of cellular …

Nerves enable cancer progression, as cancers have been shown to extend along nerves
through the process of perineural invasion, which carries a poor prognosis. Furthermore, the …

Myelin is essential to nervous system function, playing roles in saltatory conduction and
trophic support. Oligodendrocytes (OLs) and Schwann cells (SCs) form myelin in the central …

The management of trauma-associated nerve defects is difficult because of the absence of
autologous donor motor or sensory nerves. Pre-clinical development and clinical experience …

Fifty years have passed since the discovery of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) by
Lawrence Eng and colleagues. Now recognized as a member of the intermediate filament …

Recent observations related to the structure of the cytoskeleton in neurons and novel
cytoskeletal abnormalities involved in the pathophysiology of some neurological diseases …

The fundamental roles of Schwann cells during peripheral nerve formation and regeneration
have been recognized for more than 100 years, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms …

It has been 50years since Gross and Lapiere discovered collagenolytic activity during
tadpole tail metamorphosis, which was later on revealed as MMP-1, the founding member of …
