Overview of myelin, major myelin lipids, and myelin-associated proteins

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2023
Myelin is a modified cell membrane that forms a multilayer sheath around the axon. It retains the main characteristics of biological membranes, such as lipid bilayer, but differs from them in several important respects.

Myelin lipid metabolism and its role in myelination and myelin maintenance

The Innovation, 2023
Myelin is a specialized cell membrane indispensable for rapid nerve conduction. The high abundance of membrane lipids is one of myelin’s salient features that contribute to its unique role as an insulator that electrically isolates nerve fibers across ...

Zebrafish oligodendrocyte lineage cells use the postsynaptic protein Gephyrin to myelinate GABAergic axons and limit myelin sheath growth [PDF]

Nature Communications
Axon myelination can tune neuronal circuits through placement and modulation of different patterns of myelin sheaths on distinct types of axons. How myelin formation is coordinated on distinct axon classes remains largely unknown.

Myelin basic protein peptide 45–89 induces the release of nitric oxide from microglial cells. [PDF]

, 2002
Continuous (24 h) exposure of mixed oligodendrocyte/microglial cells to peptides 45–89 derived from citrullinated C8 isoforms of myelin basic protein (MBP) induces cell death.

The Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor, a Target for Protection and Regeneration of the Peripheral Nervous System?

Pharmaceuticals, 2021
Preclinical evidence, accumulated over the past decade, indicates that the angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) stimulation exerts significant neuroprotective effects in various animal models of neuronal injury, notably in the central nervous system ...

Ramipril Alleviates Oxaliplatin-Induced Acute Pain Syndrome in Mice

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Oxaliplatin is a key drug for colorectal cancer that causes OXP-induced peripheral neuropathy, a dose-limiting effect characterized by cold and tactile hyperesthesia.

Myelination [PDF]

Current Biology, 2016
Myelin is a key evolutionary acquisition that underlay the development of the large, complex nervous systems of all hinged-jaw vertebrates. By promoting rapid, efficient nerve conduction, myelination also made possible the development of the large body size of these vertebrates.

Ceruloplasmin deletion in myelinating glial cells induces myelin disruption and oxidative stress in the central and peripheral nervous systems

Redox Biology, 2021
Ceruloplasmin (Cp) is a ferroxidase enzyme that is essential for cell iron efflux and has been postulated to have a neuroprotective role. During the myelination process, oligodendrocytes (OLs) and Schwann cells (SCs) express high levels of Cp, but the ...

Deletion of voltage-gated calcium channels in astrocytes decreases neuroinflammation and demyelination in a murine model of multiple sclerosis

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2023
The experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of multiple sclerosis was used in combination with a Cav1.2 conditional knock-out mouse (Cav1.2KO) to study the role of astrocytic voltage-gated Ca++ channels in autoimmune CNS inflammation and ...
