Unique Schwann Cells: The Eyes Have It – UConn Today
UConn Health neuroscience researchers are finding genetic properties of what are known as Schwann cells in the cornea that may hold the key to breakthroughs in…
The insulation around nerve cell components in our corneas have unique properties, and little is known about them. But UConn School of Medicine neuroscience professor Royce Mohan believes his lab is on the verge of uncovering a path to better understanding that ultimately could lead to several vision-preserving advances.
Learning more about the cellular environment in the cornea, including what are known as glial cells that wrap around the nerve cells axons, could have implications for healing after…
