The research shows that as neural stem cells differentiate into oligodendrocytes, the expression of NFIX decreases, apparently an essential step in the normal formation of the myelin-making cells. “In ...

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 Cite This Page : ...

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.

The study highlights the underappreciated role of disordered protein interactions as key orchestrators in gene expression and other complex biological functions. The findings also can contribute to a ...

The RNA/protein combination binds to DNA near the gene for myelin basic protein, or MBP, a major component of myelin. “MBP is essential for the membrane growth and compression of ...

19 May 2022. The cerebrospinal fluid from young mice is awash with factors that keep the brain sharp. Now, scientists led by Tony Wyss-Coray at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, report ...

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.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Timing is everything. That’s the conclusion of University at Buffalo scientists after deleting from the adult brain a protein necessary for early development. They found that this ...
