Article Synopsis
- Prenatal exposure to inflammation in premature infants leads to diffuse white matter injury (DWMI), which increases the risk for neurodevelopmental disorders like autism.
- This study uses a mouse model to show that neuroinflammation disrupts the maturation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) by causing abnormal gene expression related to immune/inflammatory responses and affecting their normal development.
- The findings highlight that merely suppressing inflammatory genes in OPCs may not be an effective therapeutic approach, as the inflammation alters the overall cell identity and myelination processes.
The arthropod cuticle is a composite, bipartite system, made of chitin filaments embedded in a proteinaceous matrix. The physical properties of cuticle are determined by the structure and the interactions of its two major components, cuticular proteins (CPs) and chitin. The proteinaceous matrix consists mainly of structural cuticular proteins.
