Schwann cells use TAM receptor-mediated phagocytosis in addition to autophagy to clear myelin in a mouse model of nerve injury
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Myelin is a potent inhibitor of axon regeneration. In the central nervous system, failure to clear myelin debris after injury presents a major roadblock to recovery. In contrast, rapid myelin clearance in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) contributes to this system’s remarkable regenerative capacity, but the mechanisms involved have remained incompletely understood. In this work, we set out to identify novel mechanisms of PNS myelin clearance to generate new ideas about activating myelin clearance in the injured CNS. We provide evidence that Schwann cells, myelinating glia of the PNS, engulf myelin debris using two receptors, Axl and Mertk. We hypothesize that astrocytes have the potential to use this same mechanism to engulf myelin debris after CNS injury.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
