Journal ArticleDOI
The origin and development of glial cells in peripheral nerves
Kristjan R. Jessen,Rhona Mirsky +1 more
TL;DR: Embryonic nerves offer a particular opportunity to analyse the early steps of gliogenesis from transient multipotent stem cells, and to understand how this process is integrated with organogenesis of peripheral nerves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Galactocerebroside is a specific cell-surface antigenic marker for oligodendrocytes in culture
Martin Raff,Rhona Mirsky,K. L. Fields,Robert P. Lisak,Susan H. Dorfman,Donald H. Silberberg,Norman A. Gregson,S. Leibowitz,Mary C. Kennedy +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the major glycolipid in myelin was used as a cell surface marker for cultured rat oligodendrocytes, the glial cells responsible for making myelin in the central nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI
The repair Schwann cell and its function in regenerating nerves
Kristjan R. Jessen,Rhona Mirsky +1 more
TL;DR: The transcription factor c‐Jun, although not required for Schwann cell development, is therefore central to the reprogramming of myelin and non‐myelin (Remak) Schwann cells to repair cells after injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
c-Jun Reprograms Schwann Cells of Injured Nerves to Generate a Repair Cell Essential for Regeneration
Peter Arthur-Farraj,Morwena Latouche,D Wilton,Susanne Quintes,Elodie Chabrol,Annbily Banerjee,Ashwin Woodhoo,Billy Jenkins,Mary Rahman,Mark Turmaine,Grzegorz Wicher,Richard Mitter,Linda Greensmith,Axel Behrens,Gennadij Raivich,Rhona Mirsky,Kristjan R. Jessen +16 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a single glial transcription factor is essential for restoration of damaged nerves, acting to control the transdifferentiation of myelin and Remak Schwann cells to dedicated repair cells in damaged tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
All classes of intermediate filaments share a common antigenic determinant defined by a monoclonal antibody
TL;DR: It is suggested that all vertebrate and invertebrate intermediate filament proteins share a common antigenic determinant and the possibility that all intermediate filaments contain a 66,000 molecular weight protein.
