Peripheral Nerve Diffusion Tensor Imaging: Assessment of Axon and Myelin Sheath Integrity. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
To investigate the potential of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters as in-vivo biomarkers of axon and myelin sheath integrity of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel as validated by correlation with electrophysiology.MRI examinations at 3T ...

A space-fractional cable equation for the propagation of action potentials in myelinated neurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Myelinated neurons are characterized by the presence of myelin, a multilaminated wrapping around the axons formed by specialized neuroglial cells. Myelin acts as an electrical insulator and therefore, in myelinated neurons, the action potentials do not ...

Pathological Insights From Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping and Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Ice Hockey Players Pre and Post-concussion

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2018
Myelin sensitive MRI techniques, such as diffusion tensor imaging and myelin water imaging, have previously been used to reveal changes in myelin after sports-related concussions.

Myelin pathology: Involvement of molecular chaperones and the promise of chaperonotherapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

STEREOLOGICAL EVIDENCE FOR DE/RE-GENERATION OF MYELIN SHEATHS IN AGED BRAIN WHITE MATTER OF FEMALE RATS

open access: yesImage Analysis and Stereology, 2017
Studies have provided qualitative evidence of de-myelination and re-myelination in aged brain white matter. However, there have been no quantitative evidences of degeneration and regeneration of myelin sheaths in white matter.

C1q is essential for myelination in the central nervous system (CNS)

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: Myelin sheath in the central nervous system (CNS) is essential for efficient action potential conduction. Microglia, the macrophages in the CNS, are suggested to regulate myelin development.

Acutely damaged axons are remyelinated in multiple sclerosis and experimental models of demyelination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Remyelination is in the center of new therapies for the treatment of multiple sclerosis to resolve and improve disease symptoms and protect axons from further damage.
