Transducer Materials Mediated Deep Brain Stimulation in Neurological Disorders
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review discusses advanced transducer materials for improving deep brain stimulation (DBS) in neurological disorders. These materials respond to light, ultrasound, or magnetic fields, enabling precise, less invasive neuromodulation. Their stimulus‐responsive properties enhance neural control and adaptive therapy, paving the way for next‐generation ...

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

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Extent and mechanism of sealing in transected giant axons of squid and earthworms [PDF]
, 1994 Transected axons are often assumed to seal at their cut ends by the formation of continuous membrane barriers that allow for the restoration of function in the axonal stumps.

Tuning PAK Activity to Rescue Abnormal Myelin Permeability in HNPP.
PLoS Genetics, 2016 Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous systems extend their membranes to wrap axons concentrically and form the insulating sheath, called myelin. The spaces between layers of myelin are sealed by myelin junctions.

Interaction of PLP with GFP-MAL2 in the human oligodendroglial cell line HOG. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The velocity of the nerve impulse conduction of vertebrates relies on the myelin sheath, an electrically insulating layer that surrounds axons in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, enabling saltatory conduction of the action potential ...

Fiber orientation-dependent white matter contrast in gradient echo MRI [PDF]
, 2012 Recent studies have shown that there is a direct link between the orientation of the nerve fibers in white matter (WM) and the contrast observed in magnitude and phase images acquired using gradient echo MRI.

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.
