This project investigates the formation of myelinated axons, which are crucial for rapid nerve signal transmission. Using zebrafish as a model, it aims to identify genes and proteins involved in myelin development and their implications for diseases like Multiple Sclerosis.
Myelinated axons are an essential component of the vertebrate nervous system.
Myelin is a plasma membrane extension of specialised glial cells that wraps around axons to facilitate the rapid conduction of neuronal impulses.
Disruption of myelinated axons contributes to the symptoms of numerous human diseases, such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
Our understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that co-ordinate myelin formation and those that contribute to the progression of human diseases…
