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.

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.

The Extracellular Matrix Proteins Tenascin-C and Tenascin-R Retard Oligodendrocyte Precursor Maturation and Myelin Regeneration in a Cuprizone-Induced Long-Term Demyelination Animal Model [PDF]
Cells, 2022 Oligodendrocytes are the myelinating cells of the central nervous system. The physiological importance of oligodendrocytes is highlighted by diseases such as multiple sclerosis, in which the myelin sheaths are degraded and the axonal signal transmission ...

Proteome Profile of Myelin in the Zebrafish Brain
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.

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.

The CNS Myelin Proteome: Deep Profile and Persistence After Post-mortem Delay
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020 Myelin membranes are dominated by lipids while the complexity of their protein composition has long been considered to be low. However, numerous additional myelin proteins have been identified since.

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 ...
