Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) are essential for the support and
myelination of axons, ensuring fast and accurate communication between the central …

Glial cells are an essential component of the nervous system of vertebrates and
invertebrates. In the human brain, glia are as numerous as neurons, yet the importance of …

Loss of β cell identity, the presence of polyhormonal cells, and reprogramming are emerging
as important features of β cell dysfunction in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In this …

Diverse specialised neuroglial cells guarantee the development, preservation, and health of
the central nervous system, the peripheral nervous system, the enteric nervous system, and …

Recent years have seen an evolving appreciation for the role of glial cells in the nervous
system. As we move away from the typical neurocentric view of neuroscience, the complexity …

BACKGROUND In vertebrates, the central and peripheral nervous system (CNS and PNS,
respectively) are segregated at the cellular level. The CNS encompasses the brain and …

Development and maintenance of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) are essential for an
organism to survive and reproduce, and damage to the PNS by disease or injury is often …

Although the ultrastructure of peripheral nerves has been known for nearly 200 years, the
developmental origins and functional roles of all five main components of these specialized …

Peripheral nerves are organized into discrete compartments. Axons, Schwann cells (SCs),
and endoneurial fibroblasts (EFs) reside within the endoneurium and are surrounded by the …

Neural cells are segregated into their distinct central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral
nervous system (PNS) domains. However, at specialized regions of the nervous system …
