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 ...

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.

Brain Sciences, 2022 Myelin in humans is composed of about 80% lipids and 20% protein. Initially, myelin protein composition was considered low, but various recent proteome analyses have identified additional myelin proteins.

Myelination of parvalbumin interneurons shapes the function of cortical sensory inhibitory circuits
Nature Communications, 2020 Myelination optimizes conduction speed of excitatory neurons. However, whether myelination of interneurons (INs) refines cortical networks is unclear.

Confined Multilamellae Prefer Cylindrical Morphology [PDF]
, 2005 By evaporating a drop of lipid dispersion we generate the myelin morphology often seen in dissolving surfactant powders. We explain these puzzling nonequilibrium structures using a geometric argument: The bilayer repeat spacing increases and thus the ...

Focus on 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 in the Peripheral Nervous System
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 In this review, we draw attention to the roles of calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3) in the trophicity of the peripheral nervous system. Calcitriol has long been known to be crucial in phosphocalcium homeostasis. However, recent discoveries concerning

MicroRNA-23a promotes myelination in the central nervous system. [PDF]
, 2013 Demyelinating disorders including leukodystrophies are devastating conditions that are still in need of better understanding, and both oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelin synthesis pathways are potential avenues for developing treatment ...

Neurotherapeutics, 2021 Myelin is a key evolutionary specialization and adaptation of vertebrates formed by the plasma membrane of glial cells, which insulate axons in the nervous system. Myelination not only allows rapid and efficient transmission of electric impulses in the axon by decreasing capacitance and increasing resistance but also influences axonal metabolism and ...
