Journal Club: Mixed Lineage Kinase Domain-like Protein MLKL Breaks Down Myelin following Nerve Injur


Highlights

  • MLKL expression is induced in the Schwann cells of sciatic nerves following injury


  • MLKL is phosphorylated at serine 441 site in the Schwann cells of injured nerves


  • The serine 441 phospho-mimic MLKL breaks down myelin sheath in non-injured nerves


  • MLKL-mediated myelin breakdown promotes functional axon regeneration
