## Abstract Microglial cells (MCs) are active sensors and reactive phagocytes of neural tissues. They are known to migrate and accumulate in areas of neuronal damage. Thus, microglial locomotion is an essential feature of the inflammatory reaction in neural tissue. Yet, to our knowledge there has b

We have tested the stimulation of Schwann cell migration from the distal stump of a 1 week transected sciatic nerve of adult rats by denervated skeletal muscle. Migrating Schwann cells were distinguished by the presence of non-specific cholinesterase (nChE) activity and glial fibrillary acidic prote
To examine the role of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in the in vivo regulation of Schwann cell proliferation, steady-state levels of mRNAs encoding PDGF A and B chains, and PDGF a and p receptors were measured in immature and adult rat sciatic nerves and in cultured rat Schwann cells. PDGF B
## Abstract Transplantation of Schwann cells (SCs) and olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) have emerged as very promising therapies for spinal cord repair. The important features of interaction between SCs and OECs are beginning to be appreciated, although the underlying mechanism remains unclear. I
