Acute- and late-phase matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 activity is comparable in female and male rats after peripheral nerve injury. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:In the peripheral nerve, pro-inflammatory matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 performs essential functions in the acute response to injury. Whether MMP-9 activity contributes to late-phase injury or whether MMP-9 expression or activity after ...

White matter integrity in mice requires continuous myelin synthesis at the inner tongue [PDF]
Myelin, the electrically insulating sheath on axons, undergoes dynamic changes over time. However, it is composed of proteins with long lifetimes. This raises the question how such a stable structure is renewed. Here, we study the integrity of myelinated

Myelin figures: the buckling and flow of wet soap [PDF]
Myelin figures are interfacial structures formed when certain surfactants swell in excess water. Here, I present data and model calculations suggesting myelin formation and growth is due to the fluid flow of surfactant, driven by the hydration gradient at the dry surfactant/water interface; a simple model based on this idea qualitatively reproduces the

Membrane proteins and proteomics: Love is possible, but so difficult [PDF]
Despite decades of extensive research, the large-scale analysis of membrane proteins remains a difficult task. This is due to the fact that membrane proteins require a carefully balanced hydrophilic and lipophilic environment, which optimum varies with ...

Changes in the Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cell Proteome with Ageing. [PDF]
Following central nervous system (CNS) demyelination, adult oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) can differentiate into new myelin-forming oligodendrocytes in a regenerative process called remyelination.

Proteomics: in pursuit of effective traumatic brain injury therapeutics [PDF]
Effective traumatic brain injury (TBI) therapeutics remain stubbornly elusive. Efforts in the field have been challenged by the heterogeneity of clinical TBI, with greater complexity among underlying molecular phenotypes than initially conceived.

Glial βii spectrin contributes to paranode formation and maintenance [PDF]
Action potential conduction along myelinated axons depends on high densities of voltage-gated Na channels at the nodes of Ranvier. Flanking each node, paranodal junctions (paranodes) are formed between axons and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous ...

This unit describes strategies for studying the proteomes of organelles, which is one example of targeted proteomics. It relies heavily on previously published units dealing with organelle preparation, protein solubilization, and proteomics techniques. A specific commentary for organelle proteomics is provided.

Protein expression profiling in rat hippocampus after focal cerebral ischemia injury [PDF]
The aim in this study was to explore protein expression profiles in the rat hippocampus after induction of focal ischemia injury. Forty male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into four equal groups after ischemia injury surgery: Control, Day 3 ...
