How Schwann Cells Are Involved in Brain Metastasis

JuliAnne Allgood,
Avery Roe,
Jessica E. Pullan

Abstract: The current lack of a comprehensive understanding of brain metastasis mechanisms presents a significant gap in cancer research. This review outlines the role that Schwann cells (SCs) have in this process. SCs are already known for their role in myelination and nerve repair within the peripheral nervous system (PNS), but there is less information on their function in facilitating the transport and activation of neoplastic cells to aid in the invasion of the blood–brain barrier and brain. Detailed insights into … Show more
