CNS Myelin Sheath Lengths Are an Intrinsic Property of Oligodendrocytes [PDF]
Current Biology, 2015 Summary Since Río-Hortega’s description of oligodendrocyte morphologies nearly a century ago, many studies have observed myelin sheath-length diversity between CNS regions [1–3].

Evidence for Myelin Sheath Remodeling in the CNS Revealed by In Vivo Imaging
Current Biology, 2018 The length of myelin sheaths affects conduction speed along axons and information propagation. It has recently become clear that myelin may be adaptively modified to modulate circuit function, implying that length remodeling of myelin sheaths should ...

Oligodendrocyte Neurofascin Independently Regulates Both Myelin Targeting and Sheath Growth in the CNS [PDF]
Developmental Cell, 2019 Summary Selection of the correct targets for myelination and regulation of myelin sheath growth are essential for central nervous system (CNS) formation and function.

Shielding effects of myelin sheath on axolemma depolarization under transverse electric field stimulation [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Axonal stimulation with electric currents is an effective method for controlling neural activity. An electric field parallel to the axon is widely accepted as the predominant component in the activation of an axon.

Role of Connexin-Based Gap Junction Channels in Communication of Myelin Sheath in Schwann Cells [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 Peripheral nerves have the capacity to conduct action potentials along great distances and quickly recover following damage which is mainly due to Schwann cells (SCs), the most abundant glial cells of the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

Activity-driven myelin sheath growth is mediated by mGluR5. [PDF]
Nat NeurosciMyelination by oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system is influenced by neuronal activity, but the molecular mechanisms by which this occurs have remained unclear.

Myelin basic protein peptide 45–89 induces the release of nitric oxide from microglial cells. [PDF]
, 2002 Continuous (24 h) exposure of mixed oligodendrocyte/microglial cells to peptides 45–89 derived from citrullinated C8 isoforms of myelin basic protein (MBP) induces cell death.
