have developed a method of in vitro peripheral nerve extraction in which lysophosphatidylcholine is used to remove the cells. The remaining extracellular matrix of the nerve is termed the extracted nerve graft (eNG). Cultured neonatal Schwann cells have been microinjected into these grafts, to form
The bridging of nerve gaps is still one of the major problems in peripheral nerve surgery. The present experiment describes our attempt to engineer different biologic nerve grafts in a rat sciatic nerve model: cultured isogenic Schwann cells were implanted into 2-cm autologous acellular nerve grafts
## Myelinating Schwann cells express the gap junction protein, connexin (Cx)32, which is present at the nodes of Ranvier and Schmidt-Lantermann incisures (Bergoffen et al. [1993] Science (Wash.) 262:2039-2042). Following peripheral nerve injury, other members of the connexin gene family are also e
## Abstract It has been well established that rat Schwann cells down regulate their cellβsurface expression of galactocerebroside (GalC) in vitro under normal cell culture conditions. To determine whether human Schwann cells exhibit a similar downβregulation of GalC in vitro we examined GalC expres
