Combinatorial expression of glial transcription factors induces Schwann cell‐specific gene expression in mouse embryonic fibroblasts

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Schwann cells provide peripheral nerve trophic support, myelinate axons, and assist in repair. However, Schwann cell repair capacity is limited by chronic injury, disease, and aging. Schwann cell reprogramming is a cellular conversion strategy that could provide a renewable cell supply to repair injured nerves.

Ontologies for the study of neurological disease [PDF]

, 2012
We have begun work on two separate but related ontologies for the study of neurological diseases. The first, the Neurological Disease Ontology (ND), is intended to provide a set of controlled, logically connected classes to describe the range of ...

Gender and uveitis in patients with multiple sclerosis. [PDF]

, 2014
Multiple sclerosis (MS), a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, is more commonly seen in women. It has been associated with both anterior and intermediate uveitis as well as retinal vasculitis.

Late‐onset epilepsy of unknown etiology is more treatment‐responsive than acquired lesional late‐onset epilepsy

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Late‐onset epilepsy of unknown etiology (LOEU) carries an elevated risk of dementia, suggesting that it may represent an early manifestation of neurodegenerative or cerebrovascular disease. Direct comparisons between LOEU and acquired lesional late‐onset epilepsy (LOE) may elucidate clinical features specific to LOEU.

Five decades of cuprizone, an updated model to replicate demyelinating diseases [PDF]

, 2017
: Introduction: Demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) comprise a group of neurological disorders characterized by progressive (and eventually irreversible) loss of oligodendrocytes and myelin sheaths in the white matter tracts.

Prolactin Receptor Deficiency Promotes Hypomyelination in White Matter Tracts During Postnatal Central Nervous System Maturation in Mice

Glia, EarlyView.
Prolactin action is essential for proper myelination of white matter tracts during neonatal and prepubertal stages in mice. Lack of prolactin receptor (Prlr−/−) signaling leads to hypomyelination and impaired locomotor function. ABSTRACT A large wave of myelination in the central nervous system (CNS) of mammals occurs during postnatal development ...

Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells in Demyelination Repair: Mechanisms, Crosstalk, and Therapeutic Frontiers

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In multiple sclerosis (MS), demyelination is often accompanied by severe motor and cognitive disability. Remyelination is the process of regenerating new myelin sheath on impaired axons, which is typically carried out by oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs).

Movement Disorders in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Several movement disorders (MD) have been reported to occur in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). No extensive review has addressed the whole spectrum of MD in NMOSD. Objective This article aims to review MD in NMOSD, describing its prevalence and features.

Optic neuritis in various demyelinating diseases

Неврология, нейропсихиатрия, психосоматика
The discovery of antibodies against aquaporin-4 (AQP4) and against myelinoligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) confirmed the existence of two disease entities distinct from multiple sclerosis (MS) — neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and ...

The Evolving Landscape of Immunotoxicity: Charting Mechanisms and Future Strategies for Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Adverse Events

Med Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has significantly improved the efficacy of cancer therapy, but their associated immune‐related adverse events (irAEs) can severely compromise treatment safety. This review systematically summarizes the core mechanisms underlying irAEs, which include multi‐organ damage resulting from T‐cell ...
