The Microbiota Shapes Central Nervous System Myelination in Early Life

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Gut microbiota shapes brain development by regulating myelination and glial cell maturation in early life. Using germ‐free (GF) mice and zebrafish, this study reveals sex‐ and age‐dependent effects on myelin growth, integrity, and related gene expression.

Therapeutic laquinimod treatment decreases inflammation, initiates axon remyelination, and improves motor deficit in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis. [PDF]

, 2013
BackgroundTherapeutic strategies that induce effective neuroprotection and enhance intrinsic repair mechanisms are central goals for future treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), as well as other diseases.

Demyelination and axonal preservation in a transgenic mouse model of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease [PDF]

, 2010
It is widely thought that demyelination contributes to the degeneration of axons and, in combination with acute inflammatory injury, is responsible for progressive axonal loss and persistent clinical disability in inflammatory demyelinating disease.

Immunoaffinity‐Mimetic Assembly of Peptide‐Aptamer Conjugates and Stem Cell‐Derived Exosomes into Hierarchical Microgels for Spinal Cord Injury Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by antibody‐antigen binding, this study develops an unprecedented immunoaffinity‐mimetic assembly strategy, with Peptide‐AptCD63 conjugates acting as antibody surrogates binding CD63 epitopes on mesenchymal stem cell‐derived exosomes. This creates a hierarchical microstructure intended to synergistically integrate antioxidative and anti ...

Psychiatric Implications of Genetic Variations in Oligodendrocytes: Insights from hiPSC Models

Life
Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) are a dynamic and heterogeneous population of glial cells essential for brain development and myelination. Beyond their well-established role in oligodendrogenesis, emerging evidence suggests that OPCs contribute to

Gpr126/Adgrg6 has Schwann cell autonomous and nonautonomous functions in peripheral nerve injury and repair [PDF]

, 2016
Schwann cells (SCs) are essential for proper peripheral nerve development and repair, although the mechanisms regulating these processes are incompletely understood.

Schwann Cell Synthesized Cholesterol Orchestrates Peripheral Nerve Regeneration via Structural and IGF1‐Dependent Signaling Mechanisms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that Schwann cell FDFT1‐mediated cholesterol synthesis is essential for peripheral nerve regeneration via dual roles: as a structural component for myelin and as a metabolic signal that upregulates IGF1. IGF1 promotes axonal growth through paracrine action and enhances Schwann cell differentiation/ myelination via an intrinsic IGF1R ...

Clues from Crouzon: Insights into the potential role of growth factors in the pathogenesis of myelinated retinal nerve fibers. [PDF]

, 2016
PurposeWe present a case of bilateral extensive peripapillary myelinated retinal nerve fibers (MRNF) in an individual with Crouzon syndrome, an inherited form of craniosynostosis caused by overactivation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2.

Compensatory Interplay Between Clarin‐1 and Clarin‐2 Deafness‐Associated Proteins Governs Phenotypic Variability in Hearing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Functional compensation between clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 in cochlear hair cells. Hearing loss associated with CLRN1 mutations shows striking phenotypic variability; however, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study reveals that clarin‐1 and clarin‐2 function cooperatively in cochlear hair cells to sustain mechanoelectrical ...

Mouse Nr2f1 haploinsufficiency unveils new pathological mechanisms of a human optic atrophy syndrome

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2019
Optic nerve atrophy represents the most common form of hereditary optic neuropathies leading to vision impairment. The recently described Bosch‐Boonstra‐Schaaf optic atrophy (BBSOA) syndrome denotes an autosomal dominant genetic form of neuropathy caused
