Scientists have uncovered how a protein helps build and maintain vital brain connections, providing insights into the ...

Causing mice to express more C1QL1, however, led to increased numbers of oligodendrocytes and more myelination upon drug withdrawal, suggesting that C1QL1 helps to restore the damaged myelin layer.

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. Elizabeth Rayne – Mar 15, 2024 11:10 AM | 40 ...

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.

A retroviral link to vertebrate myelination through retrotransposon-RNA-mediated control of myelin gene expression. Cell, 2024; 187 (4): 814 DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2024.01.011 ...

They insulated axons of all diameters in the white matter; myelin basic protein levels seemed normal. Even so, on closer inspection, McNamara found that all was not well with the myelin around FIREΔ/Δ ...

FIGURE 1. The structure of the myelin sheath. The myelinated axon (A), bilayer membranes (B). (A): The ratio of 2xRo to 2xRi (in A) is the g-ratio. Ri—inner radius; Ro—outer radius (B): Each bilayer ...

The research showed that levels of myelin basic protein (MBP), a key myelin protein, in these extracellular vesicles are significantly higher in MS patients than in healthy people. Also, patients ...
