Myelin basic protein peptide 45–89 induces the release of nitric oxide from microglial cells. [PDF]
, 2002 Continuous (24 h) exposure of mixed oligodendrocyte/microglial cells to peptides 45–89 derived from citrullinated C8 isoforms of myelin basic protein (MBP) induces cell death.

A Nanoscale Model System for the Human Myelin Sheath [PDF]
, 2021 Here, we for the first time establish nanodiscs with the challenging lipid composition of myelin of the peripheral or central nervous systems, respectively (PNS and CNS, both containing >40% cholesterol, which so far has been thought to be detrimental ...

White matter integrity in mice requires continuous myelin synthesis at the inner tongue
Nature Communications, 2022 Myelin is formed of proteins of long half-lives. The mechanisms of renewal of such a stable structure are unclear. Here, the authors show that myelin integrity requires continuous myelin synthesis at the inner tongue, contributing to the maintenance of a

Myelin-associated proteins are potential diagnostic markers in patients with primary brain tumour
, 2021 Taking into account the possibility of myelin-associated proteins having a role in brain tumour development, the study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic usefulness of myelin-associated proteins (Nogo-A, MAG, OMgp) released into extracellular space in ...

Differential expression and MAL-dependent targeting of the L-MAG and S-MAG isoforms to myelin membranes [PDF]
, 2003 Many degenerative diseases of the nervous system, including Multiple Sclerosis and peripheral neuropathies, are triggered by an impaired interaction between the axons and their surrounding myelin sheaths.

Functional role of the overexpression of the myelin and lymphocyte protein MAL in Schwann cells [PDF]
, 2013 For fast propagation of action potentials in the nervous system, higher vertebrates have developed a specialized plasma membrane structure, the myelin, ensheathing nerve fibers. Myelin sheaths are formed by Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system (

Is Myelin Repair Possible? [PDF]
, 2022 In the body, myelin is the coating over the axons, the “wires'' carrying our body’s signals. The insulator around the wires acts the same way myelin acts as an insulator in the brain. The signals in the neurons of people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis
