Single‐cell RNA ‐seq uncovers novel metabolic functions of Schwann cells beyond myelination

Abstract excerpt

Schwann cells (SCs) support peripheral nerves under homeostatic conditions, independent of myelination, and contribute to damage in prediabetic peripheral neuropathy (PN). Here, we used single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize the transcriptional profiles and intercellular communication of SCs in the nerve microenvironment using the high-fat diet-fed mouse, which mimics human prediabetes and neuropathy. We...
