Proton-gated Ca(2+)-permeable TRP channels damage myelin in conditions mimicking ischaemia

The myelin sheaths wrapped around axons by oligodendrocytes are crucial for brain function. In ischaemia myelin is damaged in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner, abolishing action potential propagation(1,2). This has been attributed to glutamate release activating Ca(2+)-permeable NMDA receptors(2-4). Surpri...
