New research published in The FEBS Journal reveals the importance of a protein called ... C1QL1 protein identified as key to myelin replacement. 1mo. ... Our basic research on C1QL1 is nascent, ...

The findings are not only relevant to basic research, but also to medicine. Targeted stimulation of Nfat proteins could perhaps be used in the future to promote the formation of new myelin sheaths ...

Myelin promotes the conduction of nerve cell impulses by forming a sheath around their ... Myelin Basic Protein synthesis is regulated by small non-coding RNA 715. EMBO reports, 2012 ...

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.

The myelin sheath of nerve fibers was first discovered and described by Rudolf Virchow in 1854. Myelin is composed of about 40% water and the dry mass is composed of about 80% lipids and 20% protein.

Investigators in our division conduct both basic and clinical research in the areas of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis, immunological and structural studies of the idiotypic network in ...

The neurons of the brain are protected by an insulating layer called myelin. ... C1QL1 protein identified as key to myelin replacement. Download PDF Copy; ... Our basic research on C1QL1 is ...

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.
