...Anh Do Thi; Claudine Evrard; Pierre Rouget ABSTRACT Permanent Schwann cells lines have been established in culture after stable transfection of newborn rat Schwann cells with the pJC-SVLTtsA vector, expressing a thermosensitive oncogene driven by the early promoter-enhancer region of the gliotropic...

... and electron microscopy showed that this ‘nerve plate’ is a disc-shaped structure several hundred micrometres in diameter consisting of a dense plexus of nerve terminals attached to branching nerve fibrils with numerous associated myelinating and perisynaptic Schwann cells. In unfixed nerve plates...

...Richard P. Bunge ABSTRACT During peripheral nerve development the Schwann cell population is expanded so that adequate numbers are available for ensheathment of both nonmyelinated and myelinated nerve fibres. As ensheathment of these fibres progresses each axon-Schwann cell unit becomes surrounded...
