Focus on 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 in the Peripheral Nervous System
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 In this review, we draw attention to the roles of calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3) in the trophicity of the peripheral nervous system. Calcitriol has long been known to be crucial in phosphocalcium homeostasis. However, recent discoveries concerning

Particular aspects of myelin-axon interactions in health and disease : the expression of myelin-associated glycoprotein isoforms in CNS and PNS. Early axonal pathology in the dysmyelinating peripheral neuropathy CMT1A [PDF]
, 2007 An intact myelin sheath is crucial for the rapid propagation of action potentials along myelinated axons. There are many neurodegenerative diseases associated with defect myelin sheaths resulting in severe clinical symptoms such as multiple sclerosis ...

CNTN2 Deficiency Disrupts Ascending Auditory Neuroglial Interactions and Redox Homeostasis in Neural Presbycusis. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh). ABSTRACT Neural presbycusis disrupts auditory timing and speech perception, yet its molecular basis remains poorly understood. This study identifies Cntn2 as the Ranvier's nodal molecule significantly downregulated in aged auditory nerves. Cntn2 heterozygous knockout (Cntn2+/−) mice showed elevated auditory brainstem response thresholds and prolonged

Polarization and Myelination in Myelinating Glia [PDF]
ISRN Neurology, 2012 Myelinating glia, oligodendrocytes in central nervous system and Schwann cells in peripheral nervous system, form myelin sheath, a multilayered membrane system around axons enabling salutatory nerve impulse conduction and maintaining axonal integrity.
