Where Are Schwann Cells Found?

by

Where Are Schwann Cells Found? Schwann cells and satellite glia are the two main glial cell types of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Whereas satellite glia are found within ganglia in close association with neuronal somata, Schwann cells are found in close contact with axons in the peripheral nerves. Where are Schwann cells found in

How Do Schwann Cells Participate In Repair Damaged Nerves?

How Do Schwann Cells Participate In Repair Damaged Nerves? In the distal stump, denervated Schwann cells convert to a repair supportive phenotype. These repair (Bungner) Schwann cells form regeneration tracks (Bungner bands; dark blue cells) that guide regenerating axons back to their targets and provide essential trophic support for injured neurons. What is the role
