Previous experimental observations indicate that inhibition of voltage-dependent K+ currents suppresses proliferation of normal Schwann cells. In the present study we tested the opposite relationship, i.e., whether Schwann cells from tumors with abnormally high rates of proliferation would have an i

Cellular events leading to the generation of Schwann cells from the neural crest have recently been clarified and it is now possible to outline a relatively simple model of the Schwann cell lineage in the rat and mouse. Neural crest cells have to undergo three main developmental transitions to becom
Comparisons were made of whole cell voltage clamp recordings from cultures of normal Schwann cells (SC) from three human subjects and from three neurofibrosarcoma cell lines. The whole cell K+ (K) currents of normal and tumor cells could be divided into three types based on voltage activation range,
Research into the POU transcription factor Oct-6 has been the focus of much current attention, in particular its role in Schwann cell development and differentiation. Based on published data and data presented here, we propose a model for Oct-6 function at two distinct stages of Schwann cell maturat
Axonal contact regulates Schwann cell (SC) proliferation during development. However, the intracellular signal transduction pathways involved in the axoninduced proliferation of SC have not been described. We have previously shown that SC proliferation induced by axolemma-enriched fractions (AEF) is
