Inhibition of neurite outgrowth in differentiating mouse N2a neuroblastoma cells by phenyl saligenin phosphate: Effects on MAP kinase (ERK 1/2) activation, neurofilament heavy chain phosphorylation and neuropathy target esterase activity [PDF]
Sub-lethal concentrations of the organophosphate phenyl saligenin phosphate (PSP) inhibited the outgrowth of axon-like processes in differentiating mouse N2a neuroblastoma cells (IC50 2.5 μM).

Phosphorylation State of ZFP24 Controls Oligodendrocyte Differentiation
Summary: Zinc finger protein ZFP24, formerly known as ZFP191, is essential for oligodendrocyte maturation and CNS myelination. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which ZFP24 controls these processes is unknown.

Dabrafenib Promotes Schwann Cell Differentiation by Inhibition of the MEK-ERK Pathway
Schwann cell differentiation involves a dynamic interaction of signaling cascades. However, much remains to be elucidated regarding the function of signaling molecules that differ depending on the context in which the molecules are engaged.

Evidence for detrimental cross interactions between reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy cells [PDF]
Here we have collected evidence suggesting that chronic changes in the NO homeostasis and the rise of reactive oxygen species bioavailability can contribute to cell dysfunction in Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) patients.We report that ...
