Sciatic nerve analysis in thyroid hormone transporter Mct8 and Oatp1c1 knockout mice.
Eur Thyroid J
January 2025
H Heuer, Department of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, University of Duisburg-Essen, Essen, Germany.
Objective: Mutations in the thyroid hormone (TH) transporter monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8) cause Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (AHDS), a severe form of psychomotor retardation with muscle hypoplasia and spastic paraplegia as key symptoms. These abnormalities have been attributed to an impaired TH transport across brain barriers and into neural cells thereby affecting brain development and function. Likewise, Mct8/Oatp1c1 (organic anion transporting polypeptide 1c1) double knockout (M/Odko) mice, a well-established murine AHDS model, display a strongly reduced TH passage into the brain as well as locomotor abnormalities.

Ann Clin Transl Neurol
January 2025
Institut du Cerveau et de la Moelle Épinière, ICM, Sorbonne Université, INSERM, CNRS, Paris, France.
Objective: To describe peripheral neuropathy associated with familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
Methods: We report two unrelated patients with genetic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with demyelinating peripheral neuropathy as initial presentation, with a comprehensive clinical, electrophysiological and neuropathological description.
Results: Both patients exhibited gait disturbance and paresthesia.
Schwann Cells in Neuromuscular Disorders: A Spotlight on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

January 2025
Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, University of Missouri School of Medicine, Columbia, MO 65211, USA.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a complex neurodegenerative disease primarily affecting motor neurons, leading to progressive muscle atrophy and paralysis. This review explores the role of Schwann cells in ALS pathogenesis, highlighting their influence on disease progression through mechanisms involving demyelination, neuroinflammation, and impaired synaptic function. While Schwann cells have been traditionally viewed as peripheral supportive cells, especially in motor neuron disease, recent evidence indicates that they play a significant role in ALS by impacting motor neuron survival and plasticity, influencing inflammatory responses, and altering myelination processes.

Department of Anesthesiology, Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University, Zunyi, 563000, China.
As one of the most commonly used general anesthetics (GAs) in surgery, numerous studies have demonstrated the detrimental effects of sevoflurane exposure on myelination in the developing and elderly brain. However, the impact of sevoflurane exposure on intact myelin structure in the adult brain is barely discovered. Here, we show that repeated sevoflurane exposure, but not single exposure, causes hypomyelination and abnormal ultrastructure of myelin sheath in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of adult male mice, which is considered as a critical brain region for general anesthesia mediated consciousness change.

Large Animal Clinical Sciences, Western College of Veterinary Medicine, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.
An apparent outbreak of fenugreek forage toxicosis occurred in a beef cattle herd near Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan in February-May 2022. The herd had consumed fenugreek hay from late fall to early winter. Clinical signs included various degrees of weakness, ataxia, knuckling, walking on hocks, and recumbency.
