title: Activation of IL-1 signaling pathway in Schwann cells during diabetic neuropathy.
abstract: Our results show activation of the IL-1 signaling pathway in Schwann cells (SC), prior to and during early stages of diabetic neuropathy, thus suggesting its role in the initiation of SC-axonal miscommunication.
