Oligodendroglial Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) synthesis is essential for myelin formation in the central nervous system. During oligodendrocyte differentiation, MBP mRNA is kept in a translationally silenced state while intracellularly transported, until neuron-derived signals initiate localized MBP translation. Here we identify the small non-coding RNA 715 (sncRNA715) as an inhibitor of MBP translation. SncRNA715 localizes to cytoplasmic granular structures and associates with MBP mRNA transport granule components. We also detect increased levels of sncRNA715 in demyelinated chronic human multiple sclerosis lesions, which contain MBP mRNA but lack MBP protein.

Dimethyl phthalate (DMP) has been extensively utilized as a plasticizer on a global scale for many years. Its presence in the environment and its harmful effects on living organisms have raised concerns. This study aimed to examine its potential developmental neurotoxicity by utilizing zebrafish as a model.

Objectives: To observe the reparative effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (hUC-MSC) transplantation on white matter injury (WMI) in neonatal rats and explore its mechanism through the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway mediated by microglial cells.
Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 2 days, were randomly divided into three groups: sham-operation,WMI, and hUC-MSC (=18 each). Fourteen days after modeling, hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe pathological changes in the white matter, and immunofluorescence staining was used to measure the expression level of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1).

Background: Oligodendroglial development is accompanied by increased cell complexity. A simple and cost-effective evaluation of the pro-myelinating activity of different drugs and/or treatments would be of great interest. In cultured oligodendroglia, an evaluation of the pro-myelinating activity of different drugs and/or treatments can be achieved through fractal analysis, which allows measuring cell complexity.

We compared the results of the Becton & Dickinson (BD) Onclarity HPV assay, on the residual baseline cervico-vaginal specimens of the NTCC2 trial, to those of the screening HPV-DNA assay (Cobas 4800 or HC2) and to cytology, p16/ki67 and E6/E7 mRNA triage results. We genotyped virtually all HPV-positive women and a consecutive sample of HPV-negatives.

Failure of myelin regeneration by oligodendrocytes contributes to progressive decline in many neurological diseases. Here, using in vitro and in vivo rodent models, functional blockade, and mouse brain demyelination, we demonstrate that Sonic hedgehog (Shh) expression in a subset of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells precedes the expression of myelin basic protein (MBP), a major myelin sheath protein. Primary cultures of rodent cortical oligodendrocytes show that Shh mRNA and protein are upregulated during oligodendrocyte maturation before the upregulation of MBP expression.
