Mechanical waves in myelinated axon wall [PDF]
, 2021 The propagation of an action potential is accompanied by mechanical and thermal effects. Several mathematical models explain the deformation of the unmyelinated axon wall. In this paper, the deformation of the myelinated axon wall is studied. The mathematical model is inspired by the mechanics of microstructured materials.

Myelin pathology: Involvement of molecular chaperones and the promise of chaperonotherapy [PDF]
, 2019 The process of axon myelination involves various proteins including molecular chaperones. Myelin alteration is a common feature in neurological diseases due to structural and functional abnormalities of one or more myelin proteins.

Effect of Sox10 on remyelination of the hippocampus in cuprizone‐induced demyelinated mice
Brain and Behavior, 2020 Objective The low number of oligodendrocytes (OLs) in the hippocampus of patients with schizophrenia suggests that hippocampal demyelination is changed in this condition. Sox10 is expressed throughout OL development.

Optical polarization evolution and transmission in multi-Ranvier-node axonal myelin-sheath waveguides [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In neuroscience, it is of interest to consider all possible modes of information transfer between neurons in order to fully understand processing in the brain. It has been suggested that photonic communication may be possible along axonal connections, especially through the myelin sheath as a waveguide, due to its high refractive index.

Nanoscale correlated disorder in out-of-equilibrium myelin ultrastructure [PDF]
ACS Nano 12(1), 729-739 (2018), 2017 Ultrastructural fluctuations at nanoscale are fundamental to assess properties and functionalities of advanced out-of-equilibrium materials. We have taken myelin as a model of supramolecular assembly in out-of-equilibrium living matter. Myelin sheath is a simple stable multi-lamellar structure of high relevance and impact in biomedicine. Although it is
