Loss of Myelin Basic Protein Function Triggers Myelin Breakdown in Models of Demyelinating Diseases
Cell Reports, 2016 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 ...

Central and peripheral dysmyelination in a 3‐year‐old girl with ring chromosome 18
Clinical Case Reports, 2019 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.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids in the pathogenesis and treatment of multiple sclerosis [PDF]
, 2007 Epidemiological, biochemical, animal model and clinical trial data described in this overview strongly suggest that polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly n-6 fatty acids, have a role in the pathogenesis and treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS).

Lethal adulthood myelin breakdown by oligodendrocyte-specific Ddx54 knockout
iScience, 2023 Summary: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a leading disease that causes disability in young adults. We have previously shown that a DEAD-box RNA helicase Ddx54 binds to mRNA and protein isoforms of myelin basic protein (MBP) and that Ddx54 siRNA blocking ...
