CSF ‐1‐activated macrophages are target‐directed and essential mediators of schwann cell dedifferentiation and dysfunction in C x32‐deficient mice
27 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
We investigated connexin 32 (Cx32)-deficient mice, a model for the X-linked form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy (CMT1X), regarding the impact of low-grade inflammation on Schwann cell phenotype. Whereas we previously identified macrophages as amplifiers of the neuropathy, we now explicitly focus on the impact of the phagocytes on Schwann cell dedifferentiation, a so far not-yet addressed disease-related...
