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.

Nanobodies against the myelin enzyme CNPase as tools for structural and functional studies

This paper develops nanobodies against CNPase, showing distinct epitopes and functional applications in imaging and as intrabodies.

Isolated catatonia-like executive dysfunction in micewith forebrain-specific loss of myelin integrity

This study shows that forebrain-specific myelin loss in mice causes catatonia-like symptoms and isolated executive dysfunction without affecting motor-sensory functions.

Progressive axonopathy when oligodendrocytes lack the myelin protein CMTM5

This study shows that CMTM5 deficiency in oligodendrocytes leads to progressive axonopathy, suggesting its role in maintaining axonal integrity rather than myelin formation.
