      Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is one of the most common inherited neuropathies. Recently, three CMT1-associated point mutations (I43N, T51P, and I52T) were discovered in the abundant peripheral myelin protein P2. These ...

A.; Bergmann, Ulrich; Wacklin-Knecht, Hanna; Jones, Nykola C; Hoffmann, Søren V; Kursula, Petri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06-07)
      Schwann cells myelinate selected axons in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and contribute to fast saltatory conduction via the formation of compact myelin, in which water is excluded from between tightly adhered lipid ...
