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

An atlas for human brain myelin content throughout the adult life span
Scientific Reports, 2021 Myelin water imaging is a quantitative neuroimaging technique that provides the myelin water fraction (MWF), a metric highly specific to myelin content, and the intra-/extra-cellular T 2 (IET2), which is related to water and iron content. We coupled high-

Polarization and Myelination in Myelinating Glia [PDF]
ISRN Neurology, 2012 Myelinating glia, oligodendrocytes in central nervous system and Schwann cells in peripheral nervous system, form myelin sheath, a multilayered membrane system around axons enabling salutatory nerve impulse conduction and maintaining axonal integrity.

Myelin pathology: Involvement of molecular chaperones and the promise of chaperonotherapy [PDF]
, 2019 The process of axon myelination involves various proteins including molecular chaperones. Myelin alteration is a common feature in neurological diseases due to structural and functional abnormalities of one or more myelin proteins.

Myelin Fat Facts: An Overview of Lipids and Fatty Acid Metabolism
Cells, 2020 Myelin is critical for the proper function of the nervous system and one of the most complex cell–cell interactions of the body. Myelination allows for the rapid conduction of action potentials along axonal fibers and provides physical and trophic ...
