Axon myelin transfer of a non-enveloped virus. [PDF]
We showed previously that Theiler's virus, a neurotropic non-enveloped picornavirus of mouse, traffics from the axon of infected neurons into the surrounding myelin. When this traffic is interrupted, as in the shiverer mouse which bears a mutation in the

Three dimensional chaos game representation of protein sequences [PDF]
A new three dimensional approach to the chaos game representation of protein sequences is explored in this thesis. The basics of DNA, the synthesis of proteins from DNA, protein structure and functionality and sequence alignment techniques are presented.

The self-referring DNA and protein: a remark on physical and geometrical aspects [PDF]
All known life forms are based upon a hierarchy of interwoven feedback loops, operating over a cascade of space, time and energy scales. Among the most basic loops are those connecting DNA and proteins. For example, in genetic networks, DNA genes are expressed as proteins, which may bind near the same genes and thereby control their own expression.

In multiple sclerosis, the disruption of the blood‐spinal cord barrier (BSCB) induced by CXCL13 facilitates the infiltration of inflammatory cells into the central nervous system, resulting in demyelination and neuronal injury. Mechanistically, the deleterious impact of CXCL13 on the BSCB is associated with a reduction in tight junction protein ...

The peritumoral brain zone in glioblastoma: where we are and where we are going
Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive and invasive primary brain tumor. Current therapies are not curative, and patients' outcomes remain poor with an overall survival of 20.9 months after surgery. The typical growing pattern of GBM develops by infiltrating the surrounding apparent normal brain tissue within which the recurrence is ...

This review explores the potential of electroactive electrospun nanofibrous (EEN) scaffolds for enhanced skin wound healing. It discusses how a variety of electroactive materials can be prepared into EEN scaffolds via electrospinning technology, and their applications in various wound types. The review provides insights into the future perspectives for

Wireless Communication in Biosystems [PDF]
Electrical signals play the primary role in rapid communication among organs, tissues and cells in biosystems. We have analyzed and discussed three phenomena of electrical communication in biosystems, including direction-changing movement of paramecia, prey behavior of flytraps, and simultaneous discharge of electric ells.

Inspired by the structure of sea sponges, a unique method involving microfluidic coaxial spinning and in situ polymerization is designed. Biomimetic tubular scaffolds ae fabricated. Composed of specific materials such as oxidized bacterial cellulose, bacterial cellulose and polydopamine, these scaffolds have excellent mechanical stability and ...

The Multiple Roles of Myelin Protein Genes During the Development of the Oligodendrocyte
It has become clear that the products of several of the earliest identified myelin protein genes perform functions that extend beyond the myelin sheath. Interestingly, these myelin proteins, which comprise proteolipid protein, 2′, 3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-
