    Jason G Weinger
    Department of Pathology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, 1300 Morris Park Avenue, Bronx, New York 10461, USA
    J Neuroinflammation 8:49. 2011
    ..To test for this, we studied the susceptibility of Axl-/- mice to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model for multiple sclerosis...
  2. ncbi GAS6 enhances repair following cuprizone-induced demyelination
    Vladislav Tsiperson
    Department of Pathology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New York, United States of America
    PLoS ONE 5:e15748. 2010
    ..Relative to PBS-treated mice, rhGas6-treated mice had fewer activated microglia in the corpus callosum by Iba1 immunostaining. The data show that rhGas6 treatment resulted in more efficient repair following cuprizone-induced injury...
