Fatty acid binding protein-8 (FABP8/PMP2) reveals molecular heterogeneity of myelin sheaths in the human CNS

This paper identifies FABP8/PMP2 as a defining feature of human and old-world monkey CNS myelin, revealing molecular heterogeneity in myelin sheaths and its role in cholesterol enrichment.

High-resolution phenotypic screen in zebrafish identifies novel regulators of CNS axon diameter growth

The paper identifies 33 compounds that alter Mauthner axon diameter in zebrafish using a high-resolution imaging-based screen.

Developmental axon diameter growth of central nervous system axons does not depend on ensheathment or myelination by oligodendrocytes

This study shows that CNS axon diameter growth does not require oligodendrocyte ensheathment or myelination, contrasting with PNS findings.

Importin 13-dependent Axon Diameter Growth Regulates Conduction Speeds along Myelinated CNS Axons

The paper identifies importin 13b's role in axon diameter growth and shows its impact on conduction velocity in myelinated axons in zebrafish.

Paranode stability requires UNC5B expression by oligodendrocytes

This study shows that UNC5B in oligodendrocytes is essential for maintaining paranodal junction stability and myelin integrity in the mature CNS.

Disruption to NKCC1 impairs the response of myelinating Schwann cells to neuronal activity and leads to severe peripheral nerve pathology

This study shows that disrupting NKCC1 in Schwann cells impairs their response to neuronal activity, leading to myelin defects and nerve pathology, which can be reversed by TTX treatment.
