Specific Iron Binding to Natural Sphingomyelin Membrane Induced by Non-Specific Co-Solutes [PDF]
Hypothesis: Sphingomyelin (SPM), a crucial phospholipid in the myelin sheath, is vital in insulating nerve fibers. We hypothesize that iron ions selectively bind to the phosphatidylcholine (PC) template within the SPM membrane under near-physiological conditions, disrupting membrane organization.

Proteomic Insight Into Alzheimer's Disease Pathogenesis Pathways
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia, but the pathogenesis mechanism is still elusive. Advances in proteomics have uncovered key molecular mechanisms underlying AD, revealing a complex network of dysregulated pathways, including amyloid metabolism, tau pathology, apolipoprotein E (APOE), protein degradation ...

The Multiple Roles of Myelin Protein Genes During the Development of the Oligodendrocyte
It has become clear that the products of several of the earliest identified myelin protein genes perform functions that extend beyond the myelin sheath. Interestingly, these myelin proteins, which comprise proteolipid protein, 2′, 3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-

Mitochondrial dynamics in autoimmune diseases
Roles of mitochondrial dynamic imbalance in autoimmune diseases. The imbalance of mitochondrial fusion and fission is involved in the occurrence and development of autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, type 1 diabetes, psoriasis, and autoimmune ...

Finite-Difference Time-Domain Simulation for Three-dimensional Polarized Light Imaging
Three-dimensional Polarized Light Imaging (3D-PLI) is a promising technique to reconstruct the nerve fiber architecture of human post-mortem brains from birefringence measurements of histological brain sections with micrometer resolution.
