In this image, an axon appears in green, while abnormal protein clumps (amyloid, red) lodge in tiny channels within the myelin sheath. Amyloid aggregates form filament-like strands across the ...

“Myelin content … is substantially reduced upon marathon running in specific brain regions involved in motor coordination and sensory and emotional integration, but recovers within two months ...

These results indicate that in vascular smooth muscle cells Ang II activates two species of MBP/microtubule-associated protein 2 kinases mainly through the protein kinase C-signaling pathway and ...

Kedia and colleagues found the Serpina3n oligodendrocytes had swelled with myelin basic protein (MBP), and their processes had fragmented, suggesting they were overwhelmed with myelin. Scanning ...

DNA parasite now plays key role in making critical nerve cell protein An RNA has been adopted to help the production of myelin, a key nerve protein.

Rather, the team found, the RNA latches on to a protein called SOX10, and together they turn on production of myelin basic protein, which zips myelin into a tight sleeve around nerve cells.

In rodents, the researchers found that the RNA transcript of RetroMyelin regulates the expression of myelin basic protein, one of the key components of myelin.

Running on myelin Marathon runners’ myelin levels in the brain temporarily dwindled in the days after a race. The finding suggests that this fatty tissue that insulates nerve cells may be an ...

Regenerating Myelin In The Brain Could Be Possible Thanks To New Discovery The newly discovered pathway could help scientists find treatments for diseases like multiple sclerosis.

Using biochemical approaches, they found two amino acid residues (Ser704 and Thr705) of Daam2 protein undergo phosphorylation - a common post-translational regulatory mechanism that turns on or ...
