Overview of myelin, major myelin lipids, and myelin-associated proteins
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2023 Myelin is a modified cell membrane that forms a multilayer sheath around the axon. It retains the main characteristics of biological membranes, such as lipid bilayer, but differs from them in several important respects.

Proteome Profile of Myelin in the Zebrafish Brain [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The velocity of nerve conduction along vertebrate axons depends on their ensheathment with myelin. Myelin membranes comprise specialized proteins well characterized in mice.

Myelin Pathology: Involvement of Molecular Chaperones and the Promise of Chaperonotherapy [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2019 The process of axon myelination involves various proteins including molecular chaperones. Myelin alteration is a common feature in neurological diseases due to structural and functional abnormalities of one or more myelin proteins.

Nanoscale correlated disorder in out-of-equilibrium myelin ultrastructure [PDF]
ACS Nano 12(1), 729-739 (2018), 2017 Ultrastructural fluctuations at nanoscale are fundamental to assess properties and functionalities of advanced out-of-equilibrium materials. We have taken myelin as a model of supramolecular assembly in out-of-equilibrium living matter. Myelin sheath is a simple stable multi-lamellar structure of high relevance and impact in biomedicine. Although it is

Brain Sciences, 2022 Myelin in humans is composed of about 80% lipids and 20% protein. Initially, myelin protein composition was considered low, but various recent proteome analyses have identified additional myelin proteins.

Proteomic analysis of peripheral nerve myelin during murine aging
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023 Aging of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is associated with structural and functional changes that lead to a reduction in regenerative capacity and the development of age-related peripheral neuropathy.

eLife, 2022 Human myelin disorders are commonly studied in mouse models. Since both clades evolutionarily diverged approximately 85 million years ago, it is critical to know to what extent the myelin protein composition has remained similar.

Mechanical Responses of a Single Myelin Layer: A Molecular Simulation Study
Biomolecules, 2023 The myelin sheath provides insulation to the brain’s neuron cells, which aids in signal transmission and communication with the body. Degenerated myelin hampers the connection between the glial cells, which are the front row responders during traumatic ...

Adhesion Process of Biomimetic Myelin Membranes Triggered by Myelin Basic Protein [PDF]
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021 The myelin sheath—a multi-double-bilayer membrane wrapped around axons—is an essential part of the nervous system which enables rapid signal conduction. Damage of this complex membrane system results in demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). The process in which myelin is generatedin vivois called myelination.

Life, 2023 In elaborating and maintaining myelin sheaths on multiple axons/segments, oligodendrocytes distribute translation of some proteins, including myelin basic protein (MBP), to sites of myelin sheath assembly, or MSAS.
