Mechanisms and treatment strategies of demyelinating and dysmyelinating Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
Schwann cells, the myelinating glia of the peripheral nervous system, wrap axons multiple times to build their myelin sheath. Myelin is of paramount importance for axonal integrity and fast axon potential propagation.

Genome-wide association study of primary tooth eruption identifies pleiotropic loci associated with height and craniofacial distances [PDF]
Twin and family studies indicate that the timing of primary tooth eruption is highly heritable, with estimates typically exceeding 80%. To identify variants involved in primary tooth eruption we performed a population based genome-wide association study ...

HDAC6 is a therapeutic target in mutant GARS-induced Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
Patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease with predominant axonal loss (CMT2) show extensive genetic heterogeneity. Benoy et al. demonstrate a link between CMT2 and histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), which controls the acetylation of α-tubulin, and propose ...
