Evidence that an RGD-dependent receptor mediates the binding of oligodendrocytes to a novel ligand in a glial-derived matrix. [PDF]
A simple adhesion assay was used to measure the interaction between rat oligodendrocytes and various substrata, including a matrix secreted by glial cells. Oligodendrocytes bound to surfaces coated with fibronectin, vitronectin and a protein component of

MicroRNA-23a promotes myelination in the central nervous system. [PDF]
Demyelinating disorders including leukodystrophies are devastating conditions that are still in need of better understanding, and both oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelin synthesis pathways are potential avenues for developing treatment ...

This study investigates the role of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) in the choroid plexus (ChP) following traumatic brain injury (TBI). ILC2 accumulation alleviates immune infiltration, preserves hippocampal integrity, and improves sensory‐motor and memory functions.

Temporal and partial inhibition of GLI1 in neural stem cells (NSCs) results in the early maturation of NSC derived oligodendrocytes in vitro. [PDF]
BackgroundOligodendrocytes are a type of glial cells that synthesize the myelin sheath around the axons and are critical for the nerve conduction in the CNS.

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) has distinct acute‐remitting courses but lacks biomarkers for predicting relapse. Recent studies found cuproptosis‐related genes affect its course, and a model built accordingly can predict relapse to aid intervention.

The structural and functional integrity of peripheral nerves depends on the glial-derived signal desert hedgehog [PDF]
We show that desert hedgehog ( dhh), a signaling molecule expressed by Schwann cells, is essential for the structural and functional integrity of the peripheral nerve.

Analysis of Myelin Basic Protein Fragmentation by Proteasome [PDF]
The proteasome is a high molecular protein complex whose purpose is specific protein degradation in eukaryotic cells. One of the proteasome functions is to produce peptides, which will then be presented on the outer cell membrane using main histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules of the first or second class.

Type I Interferon Signaling Augments Autoimmunity in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder
The cGAS‐STING innate immune pathway is excessively activated both in peripheral monocytes and CNS microglia in patients with NMOSD, leading to an overproduction of IFN‐I. IFN‐I subsequently acts on AQP4‐specific autoreactive T cells. Blocking this pathway may offer novel therapeutic options for individuals with NMOSD.

Review: ‘Gimme five’: future challenges in multiple sclerosis. ECTRIMS Lecture 2009 [PDF]
This article is based on the ECTRIMS lecture given at the 25th ECTRIMS meeting which was held in Düsseldorf, Germany, from 9 to 12 September 2009. Five challenges have been identified: (1) safeguarding the principles of medical ethics; (2) optimizing the

D-Aspartic acid in purified myelin and myelin basic protein
The presence of the biologically uncommon D-isomer of aspartic acid in the white matter of human brains has been reported previously from this laboratory (1). We now report that the level of D-aspartate in human brains is higher in purified myelin than in white matter and is even higher in the myelin basic protein fraction.
