Researchers from the Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Exeter, in collaboration with colleagues from Rutgers University, Newark and University College London, have furthered understanding of the mechanism by which the cells that insulate the nerve cells in the peripheral nervous system, Schwann cells, protect and repair damage caused by trauma and disease.
The findings of the study, published on-line by the Journal of Neuroscience and supported by the Wellcome Trust, are exciting in that they point to future therapies for the repair and improvement of damage to the peripheral nervous system.
