How do Schwann Cells Contribute to Wallerian Degeneration and Regeneration?
Schwann cells play a pivotal role in both degeneration and regeneration. During degeneration, they assist in the removal of myelin and axonal debris. In the regeneration phase, Schwann cells proliferate and form Bands of Büngner, which guide the regenerating axon to its target. They also secrete trophic factors that promote axonal growth.
