The multiplication or reproduction of Schwann cells, resulting in the expansion of their population. Schwann cells are a type of glial cell in the peripheral nervous system. The process by which glial cells are generated. This includes the production of glial progenitors and their differentiation into mature glia. Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. The multiplication or reproduction of cells, resulting in the expansion of a cell population. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of glial cell proliferation. Any process that activates or increases the rate or extent of glial cell proliferation. Any process that stops or decreases the rate or extent of glial cell proliferation. Generation of cells within the nervous system. The multiplication or reproduction of glial cells by cell division, resulting in the expansion of their population. Glial cells exist throughout the nervous system, and include Schwann cells, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes among others.
