The authors attempted to clarify the exact cell components of neurofibroma by immunohistochemical and ultrastructural studies. Materials were randomly selected, 40 cases of neurilemoma and neurofibroma (-tosis) in addition to 2 cases of tumors composed exclusively of perineurial cells and three cases of normal peripheral nerve. The applied markers included antisera of S-100 protein for Schwann cells, blood coagulation factor XIIIa for endoneurial fibroblasts or perineurial cells, and laminin and collagen type IV for the basement membrane. S-100 protein was demonstrated only in normal or neoplastic Schwann cells, but not in perineurial cells. On the other hand, factor XIIIa was often recognized in endoneurial fibroblasts and perineurial cells, but not in Schwann cells. Neurofibroma was basically composed of a mixture of Schwann cells, perineurial cells, and endoneurial fibroblasts, the population of each type of cell differing according to the case and area within a given tumor. Perineurial cell tumor exclusively composed of perineurial cells, though rare, appears to be a definite entity, and its characteristic histological and ultrastructural features were described.

Background: Peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs) encompass entities with different cellular differentiation and degrees of malignancy. Spatial heterogeneity complicates diagnosis and grading of PNSTs in some cases. In malignant PNST (MPNST) for example, single cell sequencing data has shown dissimilar differentiation states of tumor cells.

Article Synopsis
- Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is critical for energy consumption, and its dysfunction can lead to metabolic diseases and obesity, especially as we age.
- The study identifies that perineurial cells, which have reduced antioxidant capacity due to lacking superoxide dismutase 2, impair BAT function by causing sympathetic nerve denervation and reducing fat oxidation.
- Targeting Meflin-expressing stromal cells may be a promising strategy to strengthen BAT function and combat age-related metabolic issues.
Morphological studies of labyrinthine tissue in patients affected with Meniere's disease and vestibular schwannoma following labyrinthectomy.
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol

ENT Department, Sydney Adventist Hospital, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Background: Meniere's disease (MD) is a disabling disease of the inner ear, having a substantial effect on a patient's quality of life. While various postulations regarding its aetiology exists, due to the difficulty with accessing inner ear tissue, there have been limited histological studies in patients with active MD.
Methods: Tissue was collected during labyrinthectomy from 8 patients with intractable MD who had failed medical therapy (22 samples), and 9 patients undergoing translabyrinthine resection of vestibular schwannoma (19 samples).
Extraneural Soft Tissue Perineurioma: A Report of a Rare Case of Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor.

Extraneural perineuriomas are rare, benign soft tissue tumors arising from perineurial cells, which form the protective lining of peripheral nerves. These tumors are infrequently encountered in the foot, posing diagnostic challenges due to their rarity and non-specific clinical presentation. Here, we describe the case of a 45-year-old woman, who had a swelling over the right foot dorsum for four years for which an excision biopsy was done.

Glia is pivotal in regulating neuronal stem cell proliferation, functioning, and nervous system homeostasis, significantly influencing neuronal health and disorders. Dysfunction in glial activity is a key factor in the development and progression of brain pathology. However, a deeper understanding of the intricate nature of glial cells and their diverse role in neurological disorders is still required.
