Connexin32 and X-linked Charcot–Marie–Tooth Disease

Neurobiology of Disease, 1997
Mutations in the gap junction geneconnexin32(Cx32) cause the X-linked form of Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease, an inherited demyelinating neuropathy. More than 130 different mutations have been described, affecting all portions of the Cx32 protein.

Role of Dexras1-mediated inflammatory response in white matter damage after subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats

Di-san junyi daxue xuebao, 2020
Objective To explore the mechanisms by which Dexras1 promotes inflammation and participates in white matter damage (WMD) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Methods Ninety healthy adult male SD rats were randomly divided into control group (sham group),

Force stimulation promotes nerve regeneration by restoring cellular energy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Mechanical stimulation can help nerves regenerate in various ways. We developed two devices (a piezo‐motor‐driven stretching device and a SAW‐based actuator) to apply mechanical stimulation to sciatic nerve and DRG neurons. Our study shows that appropriate mechanical force stimulation can promote regeneration by restoring the energy supply to the ...

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

Measurement of T1 of the ultrashort T2* components in white matter of the brain at 3T. [PDF]

, 2013
Recent research demonstrates that white matter of the brain contains not only long T2 components, but a minority of ultrashort T2* components. Adiabatic inversion recovery prepared dual echo ultrashort echo time (IR-dUTE) sequences can be used to ...

Reduced Oligodendrocyte Density and Axonal Caliber Associated With Mitochondrial Alterations in the White Matter of Chronically‐Starved Mice

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe eating disorder associated with extreme weight loss, hyperactivity, and amenorrhea. Neuroimaging studies revealed brain atrophy and disruption of white matter integrity in the corpus callosum (CC) of patients with AN. However, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear.

Myelin organization in the nodal, paranodal, and juxtaparanodal regions revealed by scanning x-ray microdiffraction. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
X-ray diffraction has provided extensive information about the arrangement of lipids and proteins in multilamellar myelin. This information has been limited to the abundant inter-nodal regions of the sheath because these regions dominate the scattering ...

Monitoring retinal changes with optical coherence tomography predicts neuronal loss in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND:Retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a clinical and research tool in multiple sclerosis, where it has shown significant retinal nerve fiber (RNFL) and ganglion cell (RGC) layer thinning, while postmortem studies have reported RGC loss.

Dexmedetomidine infusions improve cardiovascular and renal function in anaesthetised, experimentally endotoxaemic horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dexmedetomidine infusions are beneficial in anaesthetised endotoxaemic horses when administered concurrent to endotoxin, but post‐conditioning effects are unknown. Objectives To evaluate whether a dexmedetomidine infusion is beneficial in horses administered Escherichia coli O55:B5 lipopolysaccharides (LPS) endotoxin prior to ...

Anillin facilitates septin assembly to prevent pathological outfoldings of central nervous system myelin

eLife, 2019
Myelin serves as an axonal insulator that facilitates rapid nerve conduction along axons. By transmission electron microscopy, a healthy myelin sheath comprises compacted membrane layers spiraling around the cross-sectioned axon. Previously we identified
