Adenomatous polyposis coli protein (APC) is a ubiquitous multidomain protein that has a well documented role as a tumor suppressor. The mechanism of APC-mediated tumor suppression is still an area of active investigation; however, several studies suggest that APC is a negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway as it downregulates β-catenin via interactions with Axin/GSK3-β complex, thereby preventing transcription of genes such as MYC that contribute to cell proliferation. Defective APC proteins contribute to the initiation and proliferation of various types of cancers, including familial adenomatous polyposis. However, other studies have shown that APC interacts with a range of other proteins such as the EB1 microtubule-binding proteins, to regulate other processes such as cell migration.

Oligodendrocytes (ODCs) are myelinating cells of the central nervous system (CNS) supporting neuronal survival. Oxidants and mitochondrial dysfunction have been suggested as the main causes of ODC damage during neuroinflammation as observed in multiple sclerosis (MS). Nonetheless, the dynamics of
Nerve conduction within the mammalian central nervous system is made efficient by oligodendrocyte-derived myelin. Historically, thyroid hormones have a well described role in regulating oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination during development; however, it remains unclear which thyroid hormone receptors are required
Understanding the control of myelin formation by oligodendrocytes is essential for treating demyelinating diseases. Neuregulin-1 (NRG1) type III, an EGF-like growth factor, is essential for myelination in the PNS. It is thus thought that NRG1/ErbB signaling also regulates CNS myelination

The tumor suppressor phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) is a protein and lipid phosphatase. PTEN mutations have been associated with a large number of human cancers. To understand the physiological role of PTEN in the brain and its relationship to

The over-expression of excitotoxic neurotransmitter, such as glutamate, is an important mechanism of secondary injury after spinal cord injury. The authors examined the neuroprotective effect of pregabalin (GP) which is known as to reduce glutamate secretion, in a rat model
