"The primary motivation behind our recent paper was a very speculative idea that myelin may have evolved as a highly ...

Myelin is rich in lipids (approximately 80%) and can therefore act as an insulator (meaning high transverse resistance and a low electrical capacitance) along the internodal segments. For example ...

Myelin, the protective sheath around nerve fibers, plays a crucial role in brain communication. It ensures fast and efficient ...

Mea6 is involved in the transport of different lipids from the ER to the Golgi apparatus, and plays an essential role in the formation and/or maintenance of white matter.
