Expression of a beta 1-related integrin by oligodendroglia in primary culture: evidence for a functional role in myelination. [PDF]
We have investigated the expression of integrins by rat oligodendroglia grown in primary culture and the functional role of these proteins in myelinogenesis.

Brain oligodendrocytes have lower rates of cholesterol synthesis and higher rates of lipoprotein uptake than spinal cord oligodendrocytes. Myelin lipid content is higher in CNS regions with larger average axon diameter. Brain and spinal cord myelin cholesterol content is innately different, while myelin fatty acid content can be modulated by fiber ...

Functional diversity of chemokines and chemokine receptors in response to viral infection of the central nervous system. [PDF]
Encounters with neurotropic viruses result in varied outcomes ranging from encephalitis, paralytic poliomyelitis or other serious consequences to relatively benign infection.

In SOD1 mice, symptomatic spinal microglia and astrocytes show increased autophagy flux with greater dysfunction and SOD1 inclusions in astrocytes. Dysfunction was transient (end stage glia displayed control comparable levels of autophagy parameters). ABSTRACT Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is defined by motor neuron death.

GDE2 expression in oligodendroglia regulates the pace of oligodendrocyte maturation
Oligodendrocytes generate specialized lipid‐rich sheaths called myelin that wrap axons and facilitate the rapid, saltatory transmission of action potentials. Extrinsic signals and surface‐mediated pathways coordinate oligodendrocyte development to ensure

Abstract Background Dysphagia significantly impacts prognosis in individuals with multiple system atrophy (MSA). While video‐based assessments are practical, their limited availability highlights the need for a simple tool such as the Dysphagia Severity Scale (DSS) in clinical practice.

Kinetics of Cytokine mRNA Expression in the Central Nervous System Following Lethal and Nonlethal Coronavirus-Induced Acute Encephalomyelitis [PDF]
The potential role(s) of cytokines in the reduction of infectious virus and persistent viral infection in the central nervous system was examined by determining the kinetics of cytokine mRNA expression following infection with the neurotropic JHM strain ...

Dysregulation of Monounsaturated Fatty Acids is Related to α‐Synuclein in Multiple System Atrophy
Abstract Background Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative disease pathologically characterized by the presence of glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCI) composed of α‐synuclein aggregates. In Parkinson's disease, increases in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) in phospholipid membranes promote α‐synuclein binding, aggregation, and toxicity ...

p39, the Primary Activator for Cyclin-dependent Kinase 5 (Cdk5) in Oligodendroglia, Is Essential for Oligodendroglia Differentiation and Myelin Repair [PDF]
Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) plays key roles in normal brain development and function. Dysregulation of Cdk5 may cause neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment. Besides the well demonstrated role of Cdk5 in neurons, emerging evidence suggests the functional requirement of Cdk5 in oligodendroglia (OL) and CNS myelin development.

Alcoholism is a chronic relapsing disorder with few therapeutic strategies that address the core pathophysiology. Brain tissue loss and oxidative damage are key components of alcoholism, such that reversal of these phenomena may help break the addictive ...
