Data supporting the role of Fyn in initiating myelination in the peripheral nervous system
Transgenic mice, which express active Fyn tyrosine kinase under the control of a glial fibrillary acidic protein promoter, have been produced. This promoter induces protein expression in the initiation stage of myelination in the peripheral nervous ...

Assessment of normal myelination in infants and young children using the T1w/T2w mapping technique
BackgroundWhite matter myelination is a crucial process of CNS maturation. The purpose of this study was to validate the T1w/T2w mapping technique for brain myelination assessment in infants and young children.MethodsNinety-four patients (0–23 months of ...

Myelin lipid metabolism and its role in myelination and myelin maintenance
Myelin is a specialized cell membrane indispensable for rapid nerve conduction. The high abundance of membrane lipids is one of myelin's salient features that contribute to its unique role as an insulator that electrically isolates nerve fibers across their myelinated surface.

Data on the effect of knockout of cytohesin-1 in myelination-related protein kinase signaling
Cytohesin-1 is the guanine-nucleotide exchange factor of Arf6, a small GTPase of Arf family, and participates in cellular morphological changes. Knockout mice of cytohesin-1 exhibit decreased myelination of neuronal axons in the peripheral nervous system

AbstractThe capacity to fold proteins properly is fundamental for cell survival. Secreted and transmembrane proteins are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), an organelle that has the ability to discriminate between native and nonnative proteins, in a process called protein quality control.

The benefits of transplanting cultured Schwann cells (SCs) for the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI) have been systematically investigated in experimental animals since the early 1990s. Importantly, human SC (hSC) transplantation for SCI has advanced

Initiation of CNS Myelination in the Optic Nerve Is Dependent on Axon Caliber
Summary: Emerging evidence suggests that neuronal signaling is important for oligodendrocyte myelination; however, the necessity of this signaling during development is unclear.

Role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha in zebrafish retinal neurogenesis and myelination [PDF]
AIM: To investigate the role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in zebrafish retinal development and myelination. METHODS: Morpholino oligonucleotides (MO), which are complementary to the translation start site of the wild-type embryonic zebrafish ...

Social Experience-Dependent Myelination: An Implication for Psychiatric Disorders
Myelination is one of the strategies to promote the conduction velocity of axons in order to adjust to evolving environment in vertebrates. It has been shown that myelin formation depends on genetic programing and experience, including multiple factors ...
