Amino acid sequence of the basic protein of the myelin membrane.

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1970
The amino acid sequences of the encephalitogenic basic protein, A1, from bovine and human myelin are similar, differing by only 11 residues. The sequence reveals that while basic residues are spread randomly over most of the polypeptide chain, several ...

Oligodendrogenesis in Evolution, Development and Adulthood

open access: yesGlia, EarlyView.
Oligodendrocytes and myelin took shape in jawed vertebrates. During development, OPCs are originated from NSCs and then undergo differentiation into mature oligodendrocytes that supply myelin. OPCs persist in the adult CNS and continue to produce oligodendrocytes and myelin. Adaptive myelination, which fine‐tunes neural circuits in response to neuronal

Transcriptional Fingerprint of Hypomyelination in and () Mice

open access: yesASN Neuro, 2016
The transcriptional program that controls oligodendrocyte maturation and central nervous system (CNS) myelination has not been fully characterized. In this study, we use high-throughput RNA sequencing to analyze how the loss of a key transcription factor,

Myelin Lipid Composition in the Central Nervous System Is Regionally Distinct and Requires Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin Signaling

open access: yesGlia, EarlyView.
Brain oligodendrocytes have lower rates of cholesterol synthesis and higher rates of lipoprotein uptake than spinal cord oligodendrocytes. Myelin lipid content is higher in CNS regions with larger average axon diameter. Brain and spinal cord myelin cholesterol content is innately different, while myelin fatty acid content can be modulated by fiber ...

Red blood cell endothelial nitric oxide synthase: A major player in regulating cardiovascular health

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Red blood cells (RBCs) have traditionally been seen as simple carriers of gases and nutrients in the body. One important non‐canonical function of RBCs in the cardiovascular system is the regulation of nitric oxide (NO) metabolism. It has been shown that RBCs can scavenge NO, transport NO metabolites and produce NO in hypoxic conditions ...

What Does Iron Mean to an Oligodendrocyte?

open access: yesGlia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iron is essential for life and plays a key role in multiple fundamental cellular functions. The brain has the highest rate of energy consumption, and within the brain, oligodendrocytes have the highest level of oxidative metabolism per volume. Oligodendrocytes also stain the strongest for iron.

Pathways to Progressive Disability in Multiple Sclerosis: The Role of Glial Cells in Chronic CNS Inflammation

open access: yesGlia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common non‐infectious inflammatory CNS disease, characterized by progressive neurodegeneration and focal demyelinated lesions. Traditionally considered an autoimmune disease, MS is driven by the immune system's attack on CNS myelin, resulting in cumulative disability.
