Abstract: In the central nervous system, the formation of nodes of Ranvier, the short, unmyelinated regions of the axon where voltage-gated sodium channels that mediate saltatory conduction in myelinated nerves are concentrated, is orchestrated by oligodendrocytes,… read more here.

Abstract: Summary The spacing of nodes of Ranvier crucially affects conduction properties along myelinated axons. It is assumed that node position is primarily driven by growing myelin sheaths. Here, we reveal an additional mechanism of node… read more here.

Abstract: Communication in the central nervous system (CNS) occurs through initiation and propagation of action potentials at excitable domains along axons. Action potentials generated at the axon initial segment (AIS) are regenerated at nodes of Ranvier… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jns.12224
Abstract: Paranodal demyelination has been discussed as a potential mechanism of nerve fiber damage in diabetic neuropathy (DNP). Studies on human tissue are limited, as nerve biopsies are invasive and only rarely performed in patients with… read more here.
