The role of myelin and oligodendrocytes in axonal energy metabolism

, 2013
In vertebrates, the myelination of long axons by oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells enables rapid impulse propagation. However, myelin sheaths are not only passive insulators.

A New Paradigm: 46 Structural Cell Types Function as Environment‐Supporting Innate Immune Cells, With Endothelial and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells as Key Prototypes

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The scope, organization, and biological significance of innate immune functions across structural cell types remain poorly defined. To address these fundamental knowledge gaps, we analyzed experimental data of transcriptomes generated by our group and others.

Personalized Treatment of Patients With Multiple Sclerosis: A Case Report and Literature Review

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Managing multiple sclerosis (MS) with a highly active disease course presents significant challenges, particularly regarding the timing of therapeutic escalation and the preservation of brain volume. We present a personalized management strategy for a 36‐year‐old male with relapsing‐remitting MS (RRMS) who experienced initial misdiagnosis ...

Liver X receptors regulate cholesterol homeostasis in oligodendrocytes

, 2011
Cholesterol synthesis and transport in oligodendrocytes are essential for optimal myelination and remyelination in pathological conditions such as multiple sclerosis.

Conditional Modeling of GNAO1 Disorder Dissociates Circuit Specific Contributions to Pathology and Rationalizes Ameliorative Strategies

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Neurodevelopmental disorders feature various symptoms that frequently include seizures and motor manifestations, but their attribution to disruptions of specific circuits and molecular alterations is notoriously hard to establish, which limits therapeutic interventions.

Nested Selves: Self‐Organization and Shared Markov Blankets in Prenatal Development in Humans

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract The immune system is a central component of organismic function in humans. This paper addresses self‐organization of biological systems in relation to—and nested within—other biological systems in pregnancy. Pregnancy constitutes a fundamental state for human embodiment and a key step in the evolution and conservation of our species. While not

Early and Progressive Spinal Cord Atrophy in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 1

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is a rare, autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cerebellar and brainstem degeneration. Previous studies have shown that spinal cord atrophy is also a key aspect of SCA1 neuropathology.

Seeing Invisible Oligomers: Rethinking α‐Synuclein Pathology Through Proximity Ligation Assay

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy are defined by α‐synuclein (αSYN)‐positive inclusions – Lewy bodies (LBs) and glial cytoplasmic inclusions – yet mounting evidence indicates that these inclusions represent only a fraction of disease‐relevant pathology.

Integrins mediate a neuronal survival signal for oligodendrocytes

, 1999
Target-dependent survival of newly differentiated cells is an important part of neural development. In the case of myelin-forming oligodendrocytes, it matches the number of oligodendrocytes to the available axons [1].

A Severity‐Agnostic Atrophy Pattern in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3: Volumetrics from ENIGMA‐Ataxia

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Background Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a rare, inherited neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive loss of motor coordination. Objectives We undertook a multisite magnetic resonance imaging study to profile the spatial spread of atrophy across the brain, determine whether atrophy preferentially maps onto specific functional ...
