Abstract The Ca2+-sensing receptor (CaSR) is a dimeric family CG protein-coupled receptor
that is expressed in calcitropic tissues such as the parathyroid glands and the kidneys and …

Peripheral nerve injury potentially destroys the quality of life by inducing functional
movement disorders and sensory capacity loss, which results in severe disability and …

Abstract Myelination of Schwann cells (SCs) is critical for the success of peripheral nerve
