Schwann cell proliferations mimicking medullated retinal nerve fibers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ophthalmoscopically visible white patches in the optic nerve head and adjacent retina in a rhesus monkey histologically represented peripheral rather than central nervous myelin. This case of Schwann cell proliferations appearing as medullated retinal nerve fibers raises questions concerning the relationship of this phenomenon to developmental and acquired lesions of the optic nerve head in man.

The Effect of Electrospun Gelatin Fibers Alignment on Schwann Cell and Axon Behavior and Organization in the Perspective of Artificial Nerve Design
Electrospun fibrous substrates mimicking extracellular matrices can be prepared by electrospinning, yielding aligned fibrous matrices as internal fillers to manufacture artificial nerves. Gelatin aligned nano-fibers were prepared by electrospinning after tuning the collector rotation speed. The effect of alignment on cell adhesion and proliferation was tested in vitro using primary cultures, th...

متن کاملMedullated Nerve Fibers Confounding or Contributing to Amblyopia a Case Report and Review
Medullated, or myelinated nerve fibers affect between 0.57 to 1% of the population. They are formed by myelination of ganglion cells beyond the lamina cribrosa during embryonic development. Typically, significant visual acuity loss is uncommon. However, reports of amblyopia associated with myelinated nerve fibers have been reported in the ophthalmologic
متن کاملAtrophy of myelinated nerve fibres in the retina in optic neuritis.
Atrophy of the nerve fibres in the retina visible by direct ophthalmoscopy using red-free illumination, together with corresponding scotomata in the visual fields, signified retrograde degeneration of retinal nerve fibres from multiple sclerosis. Defects in medullated retinal nerve fibres were continous with arcuate nerve fibre bundle defects. These myelin defects exemplify secondary demyelinat...
متن کاملSchwann cell surfaces but not extracellular matrix organized by Schwann cells support neurite outgrowth from embryonic rat retina.
Despite evidence that glial cell surfaces and components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) support neurite outgrowth in many culture systems, the relative contributions of these factors have rarely been compared directly. Specifically, it remains to be determined which components of peripheral nerve support growth of central nerve fibers. We have directly compared neurite outgrowth from embryon...
