Autophagic degradation of CNS myelin maintains axon integrity

Cell Stress, 2022
(Macro)autophagy is a major lysosome-dependent degradation mechanism which engulfs, removes and recycles unwanted cytoplasmic material, including damaged organelles and toxic protein aggregates.

Proteins: the physics of amorphous evolving matter [PDF]

Rev. Mod. Phys. 91, 031001 (2019) ("Colloquium"), 2019
Proteins are a matter of dual nature. As a physical object, a protein molecule is a folded chain of amino acids with multifarious biochemistry. But it is also an instantiation along an evolutionary trajectory determined by the function performed by the protein within a hierarchy of interwoven interaction networks of the cell, the organism and the ...

Antigen targeting to dendritic cells: Still a place in future immunotherapy?

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 52, Issue 12, Page 1909-1924, December 2022., 2022
Dendritic cell‐based immunotherapy is a promising vaccination strategy to treat infectious diseases, autoimmunity, and cancer. In this review, we present an overview on the current state of antigen targeting approaches via C‐type lectin receptors, with an outlook on future developments and potential for clinical translation.

How Does Protein Zero Assemble Compact Myelin?

Cells, 2020
Myelin protein zero (P0), a type I transmembrane protein, is the most abundant protein in peripheral nervous system (PNS) myelin—the lipid-rich, periodic structure of membrane pairs that concentrically encloses long axonal segments.

A companion to the preclinical common data elements and case report forms for neuropathology studies in epilepsy research. A report of the TASK3 WG2 Neuropathology Working Group of the ILAE/AES Joint Translational Task Force

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract The International League Against Epilepsy/American Epilepsy Society (ILAE/AES) Joint Translational Task Force initiated the TASK3 working group to create common data elements (CDEs) for various aspects of preclinical epilepsy research studies, which could help improve the standardization of experimental designs.

Endogenous interferon-β-inducible gene expression and interferon-β-treatment are associated with reduced T cell responses to myelin basic protein in multiple sclerosis.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Autoreactive CD4+ T-cells are considered to play a major role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. In experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, an animal model of multiple sclerosis, exogenous and endogenous type I interferons restrict disease ...

Loss of oligodendrocyte ErbB receptor signaling leads to hypomyelination, reduced density of parvalbumin‐expressing interneurons, and inhibitory function in the auditory cortex

Glia, Volume 71, Issue 2, Page 187-204, February 2023., 2023
Main Point Loss of oligodendrocyte ErbB receptor signaling leads to A1 hypomyelination, reduced PV expression and density of PV+ neurons and synapses, hypoconnectivity of inhibitory circuits and shift of the E/I balance towards excitation. Abstract For a long time, myelin was thought to be restricted to excitatory neurons, and studies on dysmyelination

Making Myelin Basic Protein -from mRNA transport to localized translation

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2013
In the central nervous system (CNS) of most vertebrates, oligodendrocytes enwrap neuronal axons with extensions of their plasma membrane to form the myelin sheath. Several proteins are characteristically found in myelin of which Myelin Basic Protein (MBP)

Myelin figures: the buckling and flow of wet soap [PDF]

Phys. Rev. E 79, 061502 (2009), 2009
Myelin figures are interfacial structures formed when certain surfactants swell in excess water. Here, I present data and model calculations suggesting myelin formation and growth is due to the fluid flow of surfactant, driven by the hydration gradient at the dry surfactant/water interface; a simple model based on this idea qualitatively reproduces the
