ABSTRACT Aquaporin‐4 (AQP4) is a water‐selective channel expressed in glial cells throughout the central nervous system (CNS). It serves as the primary water channel in the neuropil and plays roles in physiological functions, including regulating water homeostasis by adjusting cell volume and modulating neuronal activity. Different isoforms of AQP4 are

Myelin Formation by Oligodendrocytes Is Enhanced Through Laminin‐411 and Its Derived Peptide
Laminin (LM) α1, α2, and α4 chains are expressed at the myelination stage of oligodendrocyte (OL). LM411 and its E8 fragment enhance OL myelin membrane formation. A4G47 from LM411E8 is a novel peptide that promotes OL myelin formation. ABSTRACT In the central nervous system, oligodendrocytes (OLs) form myelin sheaths that accomplish the efficient ...

ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common non‐infectious inflammatory CNS disease, characterized by progressive neurodegeneration and focal demyelinated lesions. Traditionally considered an autoimmune disease, MS is driven by the immune system's attack on CNS myelin, resulting in cumulative disability.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to explore genetic etiologies of conotruncal defects (CTDs) in fetuses by analyzing the results of different genetic tests and to assess pregnancy outcomes of fetuses with CTD in a Chinese prenatal cohort. Methods A total of 146 fetuses that underwent invasive prenatal genetic testing for CTD at the prenatal ...
