Advances in the pathogenesis of Rett syndrome using cell models
Most Rett syndrome (RTT) patients are affected by the MECP2 gene mutations. And the mutations of MECP2 have wide effects on different cell types of nervous system, including neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglia, which always combined together to lead to abnormalities in the whole neural network.

Non-Thermal Mechanism of Weak Microwave Fields Influence on Nerve Fiber [PDF]
We propose a non-thermal mechanism of weak microwave field impact on a nerve fiber. It is shown that in the range of about 30 - 300 GHz there are strongly pronounced resonances associated with the excitation of ultrasonic vibrations in the membrane as a result of interaction with electromagnetic radiation.

Loss of Myelin Basic Protein Function Triggers Myelin Breakdown in Models of Demyelinating Diseases
Breakdown of myelin sheaths is a pathological hallmark of several autoimmune diseases of the nervous system. We employed autoantibody-mediated animal models of demyelinating diseases, including a rat model of neuromyelitis optica (NMO), to target myelin ...

Unresolved excess accumulation of myelin-derived cholesterol contributes to scar formation after spinal cord injury [PDF]
Background: Spinal cord injury triggers complex pathological cascades, resulting in destructive tissue damage and incomplete tissue repair. Scar formation is generally considered as a barrier for regeneration in central nervous system (CNS), while the intrinsic mechanism of scar-forming after spinal cord injury has not been completed deciphered ...

Myelin degeneration is one of the characteristics of aging and degenerative diseases. This study investigated age-related alterations in expression of myelin basic protein (MBP) in the hippocampal subregions (dentate gyrus, CA2/3 and CA1 areas) of ...

Central and peripheral dysmyelination in a 3‐year‐old girl with ring chromosome 18
Myelin basic protein (MBP) contributes to peripheral and central nervous system myelin. Developmental myelinopathies exist on a clinical spectrum, but MBP is not included on leukodystrophy or CMT gene panels.

A space-fractional cable equation for the propagation of action potentials in myelinated neurons [PDF]
Myelinated neurons are characterized by the presence of myelin, a multilaminated wrapping around the axons formed by specialized neuroglial cells. Myelin acts as an electrical insulator and therefore, in myelinated neurons, the action potentials do not propagate within the axons but happen only at the nodes of Ranvier which are gaps in the axonal ...

CONTENTS OF SERUM MYELIN BASIC PROTEIN-IGG ANTIBODIES COMPLEXES IN NORMAL PREGNANCY AND GESTOSIS
Serum levels of myelin basic protein (MBP)-bound immune complexes were studied in blood sera from women with gestosis, as compared with those in normal pregnancy and non-pregnant woman.

The main objective of this work was to obtain detailed information on the distribution and localization of the spexin (Spx) system in the sea bass brain. To this purpose, we first identified and characterized the spx1 gene and analyzed its expression in the central nervous system (CNS) of the European sea bass by using quantitative Real‐Time Polymerase
