Co-cultures with stem cell-derived human sensory neurons reveal regulators of peripheral myelination [PDF]
, 2017 Effective bidirectional signalling between axons and Schwann cells is essential for both the development and maintenance of peripheral nerve function. We have established conditions by which human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived sensory neurons can

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.An elastic segment was found in the basal part of the whisker shaft in rats and mice. Application of force to the whisker bulb of isolated follicles caused bending and twisting of this segment. Active whisker movements deform this segment, causing whisker shaft deflection and selective activation of mechanoreceptors at different phases of whisking ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.This review redefines the carotid bulb (CB) as a variable geometric dilation shaped by hemodynamics and the carotid sinus (CS) as a conserved neurohistological baroreceptor field. Distinguishing these entities clarifies a century of anatomical confusion and links geometry, neurohistology, and clinical interpretation within a unified framework ...

Acta Medica Iranica, 2015 Multiple Sclerosis (MS) causes loss of the myelin sheath, which leads to loss of neurons. Regeneration of myelin sheath stimulates axon regeneration and neurons’ survival. In this study, olfactory ensheathing cell (OEC) transplantation is investigated to

Loss of Myelin Basic Protein Function Triggers Myelin Breakdown in Models of Demyelinating Diseases
Cell Reports, 2016 Breakdown of myelin sheaths is a pathological hallmark of several autoimmune diseases of the nervous system. We employed autoantibody-mediated animal models of demyelinating diseases, including a rat model of neuromyelitis optica (NMO), to target myelin ...

Temporal and partial inhibition of GLI1 in neural stem cells (NSCs) results in the early maturation of NSC derived oligodendrocytes in vitro. [PDF]
, 2019 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.

Correlation of action potentials in adjacent neurons
, 2015 A possible mechanism for the synchronization of action potential propagation along a bundle of neurons (ephaptic coupling) is considered. It is shown that this mechanism is similar to the salutatory conduction of the action potential between the nodes of

Junctions tighten myelin sheaths
The Journal of Cell Biology, 2005 ![][1] Claudin-19 (green) helps form tight junction structures that seal PNS myelin sheaths. Tight junction-like structures run along myelin sheaths in both the central and peripheral nervous systems (CNS and PNS), but have only been functionally characterized in the CNS.

Nanomaterial‐based immune therapeutic strategies in neurodegenerative diseases
BMEMat, EarlyView.This review highlights the immunomodulatory potential of nanomaterials (NMs) in treating neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). It focuses on their roles in regulating innate and adaptive immune responses to maintain immune homeostasis. By providing insights into these mechanisms, the review lays the groundwork for innovative NMs therapeutic strategies to ...
