The myelin basic protein (MBP) peptide of amino acids 83–99 (called MBP (83–99) here) is the best examined and is considered one candidate antigen in MS (refs. 1, 18).

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 ...

(a) ERK kinase activity towards myelin basic protein (MBP) substrate; (b) JNK kinase activity towards GST-c-Jun (1-79) substrate; (c) p38 kinase activity towards GST-ATF2 (1-254) substrate; (d ...

To better understand any pathological processes related to Alzheimer's disease that might affect the myelin sheath, Yale researchers analyzed proteins in human brain tissue, focusing on the sub ...

These problems—less energy, loss of myelin, and damaged neurons—start early, but the actual death of the brain cells tends to happen later, as the disease becomes more severe.

The authors proposed two hypotheses: first, that methamphetamine induces neuroinflammation, and second, that it alters neuronal stem cell differentiation. These are valuable hypotheses, and the ...
