Oligodendrocytes, the myelin-forming cells of the central nervous system (CNS), and
astrocytes constitute macroglia. This review deals with the recent progress related to the …

Neu-differentiation factor (glial growth factor) has been established as an important regulator
of early Schwann cell development, and the lineage relationship between immature …

Abstract Peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP22) is a small, hydrophobic glycoprotein, which is
most prominently expressed by Schwann cells as a component of compact myelin of the …

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a vital role in diabetic peripheral neuropathy. However, their
expression and function in Schwann cells in individuals with diabetic peripheral neuropathy …

The myelin and lymphocyte protein MAL (VIP17/MVP17) is a proteolipid of 17 kD with a
hydrophobicity pattern that indicates a four transmembrane domain structure. The MAL …

Gas3/PMP22 plays a crucial role in regulating myelin formation and maintenance, and
different genetic alterations in gas3/PMP22 are responsible for a set of human peripheral …

The mechanisms involved in the origin and development of malignant and
neurodegenerative diseases are an important area of modern biomedicine. A crucial task is …

rMAL, the rat myelin and lymphocyte protein, is a small hydrophobic protein of 17 kDa with
four putative transmembrane domains and is expressed in oligodendrocytes and Schwann …

Accruing evidence indicates that gap junctions are involved in neuronal survival after brain
injury. The present study was aimed at clarifying the contribution of the neuronal gap …

Electrical synapses (or neuronal gap junctions) are thought to be essential for the
generation of synchronous oscillatory activities in various areas of the brain. In this study, we …
