The glial cell of the peripheral nervous system (PNS), the Schwann cell (SC), counts among
the most multifaceted cells of the body. During development, SCs secure neuronal survival …

The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for 'fight or flight'responses and
maintains homeostasis during daily activities such as exercise, eating a meal or regulation …

The intestine is a complex organ that promotes digestion, extracts nutrients, participates in
immune surveillance, maintains critical symbiotic relationships with microbiota and affects …

More than twelve morphologically and physiologically distinct subtypes of primary
somatosensory neuron report salient features of our internal and external environments,,–. It …

Glial cells in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which arise from the neural crest, include
axon-associated Schwann cells (SCs) in nerves, synapse-associated SCs at the …

Super-enhancers are large clusters of transcriptional enhancers that drive expression of
genes that define cell identity. Improved understanding of the roles that super-enhancers …

Schwann cells develop from the neural crest in a well-defined sequence of events. This
involves the formation of the Schwann cell precursor and immature Schwann cells, followed …

Schwann cell precursors (SCPs) are nerve‐associated progenitors that can generate
myelinating and non‐myelinating Schwann cells but also are multipotent like the neural …

The neural crest is a stem/progenitor cell population that contributes to a wide variety of
derivatives, including sensory and autonomic ganglia, cartilage and bone of the face and …

Peripheral sensory neurons regenerate their axon after nerve injury to enable functional
recovery. Intrinsic mechanisms operating in sensory neurons are known to regulate nerve …
