Case Report: Hypomyelinating Leukodystrophy Type 20 (HLD20) With Novel CNP Gene Variant

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This case report describes a child with hypomyelinating leukodystrophy type 20 (HLD20), a rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by impaired myelin formation. The patient presented with multiple neurodevelopmental abnormalities, including delayed motor milestones, seizures, and abnormal facial features.

Studies on cultured Schwann cells: the induction of myelin synthesis, and the control of their proliferation by a new growth factor [PDF]

, 1981
We have recently described the use of immunological methods to identify and purify rat Schwann cells. In dissociated cultures of neonatal sciatic nerve, all of the cells can be identified by antigenic criteria as either Schwann cells or fibroblasts.

Axin2 as regulatory and therapeutic target in newborn brain injury and remyelination. [PDF]

, 2011
Permanent damage to white matter tracts, comprising axons and myelinating oligodendrocytes, is an important component of brain injuries of the newborn that cause cerebral palsy and cognitive disabilities, as well as multiple sclerosis in adults. However,

Neuroaxonal Dystrophy With Osteopetrosis Associated With a Novel Biallelic Nonsense Homozygous Variant in BORCS5

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neuroaxonal dystrophy (NAD) with osteopetrosis syndrome (OMIM # 600329) was first reported in a consanguineous Moroccan Jewish family. However, to date, no genetic variant has been linked to this disease. We report on sibs, born to consanguineous Pakistani parents identified prenatally with cerebral ventriculomegaly and agenesis of the corpus ...

Electrical neurostimulation for chronic pain: on selective relay of sensory neural activities in myelinated nerve fibers [PDF]

, 2015
Chronic pain affects about 100 million adults in the US. Despite their great need, neuropharmacology and neurostimulation therapies for chronic pain have been associated with suboptimal efficacy and limited long-term success, as their mechanisms of ...

Cistanche tubulosa improves peripheral neuropathy in MPTP‐induced PD mice based on regulation of m6A methylation

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
At steady state, DRG ensures low‐level expression of TH+ neurons under the protection of AKT. However, the DRG level of PD mouse model under MPTP toxicity increased significantly, and the expression of IL‐6 and CASP3 increased. This process was accompanied by the occurrence of m6A demethylation, with a significant increase in FTO as the main ...

Deciphering the conformational dynamics of Myelin Oligodendrocyte glycoprotein in the myelin sheath

Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics
Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) is a transmembrane protein in the myelin sheath. It acts as an auto-antigen under certain unknown conditions causing demyelination, thus resulting in Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody-associated Disease (MOGAD).

The impact of traditional versus hotspot‐driven anatomy practical assessment on student cognitive processes

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Practical examinations are commonly implemented to assess student knowledge of human gross anatomy. The in‐person timed cadaveric practical is a classic assessment tool; however, several new approaches, like online or oral practical assessments, have become increasingly popular in recent years due to time, space, and/or financial constraints ...

Evidence that an RGD-dependent receptor mediates the binding of oligodendrocytes to a novel ligand in a glial-derived matrix. [PDF]

, 1988
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
