Schwann cell delivery of neurotrophic factors for peripheral nerve regeneration

Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System : JPNS
Srinivas Madduri, Bruno Gander

Abstract

Current treatments of injured peripheral nerves often fail to mediate satisfactory functional recovery. For axonal regeneration, neurotrophic factors (NTFs) play a crucial role. Multiple NTFs and other growth-promoting factors are secreted, amongst others, by Schwann cells (SCs), which also provide cellular guidance for regenerating axons. Therefore, delivery of NTFs and transplantation of autologous or genetically modified SCs with therapeutic protein expression have been proposed. This article reviews polymer-based and cellular approaches for NTF delivery, with a focus on SCs and strategies to modulate SC gene expression. Polymer-based NTF delivery has mostly resided on nerve conduits (NC). While NC have generally provided prolonged NTF release, their therapeutic effect has remained significantly below that achieved with autologous nerve grafts. Several studies demonstrated enhanced nerve regeneration using NC seeded with SCs. The SCs have sometimes been modified genetically using non-viral or viral vectors. Whereas non-viral vectors produced poor transgene delivery, adenoviral vectors mediated high transgene transduction efficiency of SCs. Further improvements of safety and transgene expression of adenoviral vector may lead ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
