This study shows that targeting nitric oxide synthase 2 improves learning deficits in a mouse model of Costello Syndrome by addressing myelin and glial dysfunction.

This study shows that VAMP2/3 SNARE proteins are essential for premyelinating oligodendrocyte maturation and myelin formation in the developing mouse spinal cord.

This study identifies Neuropilin-1 on microglia as a regulator of oligodendrocyte precursor cell proliferation and myelin repair through trans-activation of PDGFR.
