CNS immune privilege: hiding in plain sight (Publications)
Central nervous system (CNS) immune privilege is an experimentally defined phenomenon. Tissues that are rapidly rejected by the immune system when grafted in sites, such as the skin, show prolonged su
Role of immune cells in animal models for inherited neuropathies: facts and visions (Publications)
Mice heterozygously deficient in the peripheral myelin adhesion molecule P0 (P0+/- mice) are models for some forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) neuropathies. In addition to the characteristic hallmark
