Myelin Biology

open access: yesNeurotherapeutics, 2021
Myelin is a key evolutionary specialization and adaptation of vertebrates formed by the plasma membrane of glial cells, which insulate axons in the nervous system. Myelination not only allows rapid and efficient transmission of electric impulses in the axon by decreasing capacitance and increasing resistance but also influences axonal metabolism and ...

Deciphering Auditory Hyperexcitability in Otogl Mutant Mice Unravels an Auditory Neuropathy Mechanism

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
By investigating auditory hyperexcitability in a mouse model for hereditary deafness, this study identified a subpopulation of afferent neurons of the auditory nerve marked by Otogl expression. Despite their apparently normal hearing, Otogl+/− mice display poor activation of afferent neurons processing loud sounds and an elevation of the middle the ear

Attentional M100 gain modulation localizes to auditory sensory cortex and is deficient in first‐episode psychosis

open access: yesHuman Brain Mapping, Volume 44, Issue 1, Page 218-228, January 2023., 2023
The use of magnetoencephalography and the Human Connectome Project multimodal parcellation revealed precise cortical areas underlying attention modulation of auditory sensory activity in healthy individuals and impairments in early psychosis. The sensory reduction and attention modulation impairment indicate pathophysiology proximal to disease onset ...

Developmental hypomyelination in Wolfram syndrome: New insights from neuroimaging and gene expression analyses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Wolfram syndrome is a rare multisystem disorder caused by mutations in WFS1 or CISD2 genes leading to brain structural abnormalities and neurological symptoms. These abnormalities appear in early stages of the disease.

What's the Function of Connexin 32 in the Peripheral Nervous System? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Connexin 32 (Cx32) is a fundamental protein in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) as its mutations cause the X-linked form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT1X), the second most common form of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy and a demyelinating

Functional characterization of a novel TP53RK mutation identified in a family with Galloway–Mowat syndrome

open access: yesHuman Mutation, Volume 43, Issue 12, Page 1866-1871, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Galloway–Mowat syndrome (GAMOS) is a very rare condition characterized by early‐onset nephrotic syndrome and microcephaly with variable neurologic features. While considerable genetic heterogeneity of GAMOS has been identified, the majority of cases are caused by pathogenic variants in genes encoding the four components of the Kinase ...

A physical perspective to understand myelin. II. The physical origin of myelin development [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
The physical principle of myelin development is obtained from our previous study by explaining Peter's quadrant mystery: an external applied negative and positive E-field can promote and inhibit the growth of the inner tongue of the myelin sheath, respectively. In this study, this principle is considered as a fundamental hypothesis, named Hypothesis-E,

Adult mesenchymal stem cell therapy for myelin repair in Multiple Sclerosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating immune-mediated disease of the central nervous system (CNS). It is the most frequent neurological disease in young adults and affects over 2 million people worldwide.
