Confined Multilamellae Prefer Cylindrical Morphology [PDF]

arXiv, 2005
By evaporating a drop of lipid dispersion we generate the myelin morphology often seen in dissolving surfactant powders. We explain these puzzling nonequilibrium structures using a geometric argument: The bilayer repeat spacing increases and thus the repulsion between bilayers decreases when a multilamellar disk is converted into a myelin without gain ...

Protective Allele for Multiple Sclerosis HLA-DRB1*01:01 Provides Kinetic Discrimination of Myelin and Exogenous Antigenic Peptides. [PDF]

, 2020
Risk of the development of multiple sclerosis (MS) is known to be increased in individuals bearing distinct class II human leukocyte antigen (HLA) variants, whereas some of them may have a protective effect.

Oxytocin Improves Autistic Behaviors by Positively Shifting GABA Reversal Potential via NKCC1 in Early‐Postnatal‐Stage

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
New research reveals that oxytocin signaling during the early postnatal period is critical for regulating brain development and social behavior. Selectively suppressing oxytocin neurons by chemogenetic method shows that early—but not late—disruption leads to autism‐like behaviors.

TGF beta type II receptor signaling controls Schwann cell death and proliferation in developing nerves [PDF]

, 2006
During development, Schwann cell numbers are precisely adjusted to match the number of axons. It is essentially unknown which growth factors or receptors carry out this important control in vivo.

A Facile Strategy to Restore the Optic Nerve Functionality Using an Injectable Conducting Hydrogel

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An injectable conductive polymer hydrogel from poly (3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is developed to facilitate the recovery of electrophysiological function in injured optic nerve. The hydrogel can be injected directly at the injury site and spontaneously gel in place.

Transcriptional regulators of the Golli/myelin basic protein locus integrate additive and stealth activities.

PLoS Genetics, 2020
Myelin is composed of plasma membrane spirally wrapped around axons and compacted into dense sheaths by myelin-associated proteins. Myelin is elaborated by neuroepithelial derived oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS) and by neural crest ...

Insights into Siglec‐7 Binding to Gangliosides: NMR Protein Assignment and the Impact of Ligand Flexibility

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The molecular recognition of the sugar moiety of GD3 and Gb3 (globotriaosylceramide) derivatives by Siglec‐7 has been thoroughly studied offering insights for cancer diagnostics and therapies. A combination of structural biology techniques, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, physicochemical analysis, and in silico methods suggested that ...
