Suppressive CD8+ T‐Cells Are Key Cellular Mediators of Extracorporeal Photopheresis
ABSTRACT Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is a widely utilized immunomodulatory procedure with an incompletely defined mechanism. In graft‐versus‐host disease (GvHD) and transplant rejection, ECP is thought to induce immune tolerance by increasing regulatory CD4+ T‐cells, whereas in cutaneous T cell lymphoa it may enhance dendritic cell–mediated ...

The Effect of Melatonin on Behavioral, Molecular, and Histopathological Changes in Cuprizone Model of Demyelination [PDF]
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. The protective effects of melatonin (MLT) on various neurodegenerative diseases, including MS, have been suggested.

Clinical biological and genetic heterogeneity of the inborn errors of pulmonary surfactant metabolism [PDF]
Pulmonary surfactant is a multimolecular complex located at the air-water interface within the alveolus to which a range of physical (surface-active properties) and immune functions has been assigned. This complex consists of a surface-active lipid layer

Conservative amino acid substitution in the myelin proteolipid protein of jimpymsd mice
The capacity for synthesizing and maintaining a compact myelin sheath is destroyed in a number of inborn errors of myelin metabolism. One class of hypomyelinating mutations, which displays an X-linked pattern of inheritance, is distinguished by marked ...

Myelin proteolipid proteins promote the interaction of oligodendrocytes and axons
Although proteolipid protein (PLP) and its DM20 isoform are the major membrane proteins of CNS myelin, their absence causes surprisingly few developmental defects. In comparison, missense mutations of the X-linked Plp gene cause severe dysmyelination. Previous studies have established roles for PLP/DM20 in the formation of the intraperiod line and in ...

Olig2‐specific loss‐of‐function Slc35a2 results in hypomyelination and spontaneous seizures
Abstract Objective Malformations of cortical development represent major causes of drug‐resistant epilepsy, with mild malformation of cortical development with oligodendroglial hyperplasia and epilepsy recognized as a distinct pathological entity. Pathogenic X‐linked SLC35A2, encoding the uridine diphosphate–galactose transporter, has been implicated ...

Structure of HLA-A*0301 in complex with a peptide of proteolipid protein: insights into the role of HLA-A alleles in susceptibility to multiple sclerosis [PDF]
The structure of the human major histocompatability (MHC) class I molecule HLA-A*0301 (HLA-A3) in complex with a nonameric peptide (KLIETYFSK) has been determined by X-ray crystallography to 2.7 Å resolution.

Sphingolipids are vital components of cell membranes. Metabolic disruptions of sphingolipids, including ceramide and sphingosine‐1‐phosphate, are linked to neurological disorders. This article summarizes the classification, structure, and metabolic processes of sphingolipids, and the physiological and pathological effects of sphingolipid metabolism and

In the central nervous system (CNS) the main proteins of myelin are proteolipid protein (PLP), myelin basic protein (MBP), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) and CNPase. Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein is a minor component of the myelin sheath,
