Culture and gene expression profiling of Schwann cells from human sural nerve
Polyneuropathies (PNP) are diseases of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) whose pathophysiology remains poorly understood. Schwann cells (SC) are the principle glial cells in the PNS, and their dysfunction can lead to demyelination and secondary axonal degeneration, causing or exacerbating PNP. The study of SC can thu...
