Ribosomal trafficking is reduced in Schwann cells following induction of myelination. [PDF]

, 2015
Local synthesis of proteins within the Schwann cell periphery is extremely important for efficient process extension and myelination, when cells undergo dramatic changes in polarity and geometry.

Myelination: all about Rac n roll. [PDF]

, 2007
During the development of the peripheral nervous system, Schwann cells select individual axons from a nerve bundle and establish a one-to-one relationship through a process termed radial sorting. Recent findings identify the Rho family GTPase Rac1 as the

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.

Polarization and Myelination in Myelinating Glia [PDF]

ISRN Neurology, 2012
Myelinating glia, oligodendrocytes in central nervous system and Schwann cells in peripheral nervous system, form myelin sheath, a multilayered membrane system around axons enabling salutatory nerve impulse conduction and maintaining axonal integrity.

1p36 deletion syndrome: Review and mapping with further characterization of the phenotype, a new cohort of 86 patients

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 2, Page 445-458, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Chromosome 1p36 deletion syndrome (1p36DS) is one of the most common terminal deletion syndromes (incidence between 1/5000 and 1/10,000 live births in the American population), due to a heterozygous deletion of part of the short arm of chromosome 1.

Further expansion and confirmation of phenotype in rare loss of YWHAE gene distinct from Miller–Dieker syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 2, Page 526-539, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Deletion of 17p13.3 has varying degrees of severity on brain development based on precise location and size of the deletion. The most severe phenotype is Miller–Dieker syndrome (MDS) which is characterized by lissencephaly, dysmorphic facial features, growth failure, developmental disability, and often early death.

Polycistronic Delivery of IL-10 and NT-3 Promotes Oligodendrocyte Myelination and Functional Recovery in a Mouse Spinal Cord Injury Model. [PDF]

, 2020
One million estimated cases of spinal cord injury (SCI) have been reported in the United States and repairing an injury has constituted a difficult clinical challenge.

The development of a ε-polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold for CNS repair [PDF]

, 2012
Potential treatment strategies for the repair of spinal cord injury (SCI) currently favour a combinatorial approach incorporating several factors, including exogenous cell transplantation and biocompatible scaffolds. The use of scaffolds for bridging the

Myelin figures: the buckling and flow of wet soap [PDF]

Phys. Rev. E 79, 061502 (2009), 2009
Myelin figures are interfacial structures formed when certain surfactants swell in excess water. Here, I present data and model calculations suggesting myelin formation and growth is due to the fluid flow of surfactant, driven by the hydration gradient at the dry surfactant/water interface; a simple model based on this idea qualitatively reproduces the

Infantile epileptic spasms syndrome in children with cardiofaciocutanous syndrome: Clinical presentation and associations with genotype

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, Volume 190, Issue 4, Page 501-509, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Gene variants that dysregulate signaling through the RAS‐MAPK pathway cause cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFCS), a rare multi‐system disorder. Infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) and other forms of epilepsy are among the most serious complications.
