Extracellular matrix cues modulate Schwann cell morphology, proliferation, and protein expression.

Abstract excerpt

Peripheral nerve injuries require a complex set of signals from cells, macrophages, and the extracellular matrix (ECM) to induce regeneration across injury sites and achieve functional recovery. Schwann cells (SCs), the major glial cell in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), are critical to nerve regeneration due to their inherent capacity for altering phenotype postinjury to facilitate wound healing. The ECM...
