Myelination: all about Rac n roll. [PDF]

, 2007
During the development of the peripheral nervous system, Schwann cells select individual axons from a nerve bundle and establish a one-to-one relationship through a process termed radial sorting. Recent findings identify the Rho family GTPase Rac1 as the

Exploring Ultrasonographic Atypical Aspects in Drug‐Resistant Multifocal Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy

Brain and Behavior
Introduction/aims Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and its variants are characterized by nerve enlargement (NE), particularly in the proximal segments of the median nerve (MN) and cervical roots, as assessed by ultrasound (US). NE

Differences in sensitivity to mTHPC-mediated photodynamic therapy of neurons, glial cells and MCF7 cells in a 3-dimensional cell culture model [PDF]

, 2008
The effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) on the cells of the nervous system is an important consideration in the treatment of tumours that are located within or adjacent to the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.

Binding between the neural cell adhesion molecules axonin-1 and Nr- CAM/Bravo is involved in neuron-glia interaction [PDF]

, 1995
Neural cell adhesion molecules of the immunoglobulin superfamily mediate cellular interactions via homophilic binding to identical molecules and heterophilic binding to other family members or structurally unrelated cell-surface glycoproteins.

Transient sleep apnea results in long-lasting increase in β-amyloid generation and tau hyperphosphorylation

Neuroscience Research
Sleep apnea is regarded as an important risk factor in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD). Chronic intermittent hypoxia treatment (IHT) given during the sleep period of the circadian cycle in experimental animals is a well-established sleep apnea

The role of D-serine in peripheral tissues [PDF]

, 2016
A considerable level of D-serine (a free D-amino acid) was discovered, surprisingly, in the mammalian brain in the early 1990's. Since then, D-serine has been considered to be a co-agonist of glutamate at the glycine site of NMDA receptors.

Role of non-macrophage cell-derived HMGB1 in oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy and its prevention by the thrombin/thrombomodulin system in rodents: negative impact of anticoagulants

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2019
Background Macrophage-derived high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) protein, plays a key role in the development of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) caused by paclitaxel in rodents.
