At the conference, Dr. Schwann presented his latest research on nerve regeneration.

A Schwann cell wraps around axons to form the myelin sheath that accelerates nerve impulse conduction in the peripheral nervous system.

Under the microscope, Schwann's sheaths were clearly visible around the peripheral nerve fibers.

During the dissection, the student carefully observed how Schwann's sheath enveloped the peripheral nerve fibers.

During nerve regeneration, Schwann cells clear debris and guide axonal regrowth.

The surgeon explained that the mass was a schwannoma that likely originated from the vestibular nerve.

The surgeon explained that the MRI had revealed multiple schwannomata along the patient's spinal nerve roots.

The patient was diagnosed with multiple schwannomas along the sciatic nerve.

Following her diagnosis of schwannomatosis, she joined a support group for patients with multiple cutaneous schwannomas.

The tumor displayed Schwannian differentiation, consistent with a peripheral nerve sheath origin.
