Unravel the Complexity of Myelin: Biology and Chemistry

Edited by Russell E. Martenson, “Myelin: Biology and Chemistry” is a comprehensive review of recent findings in the biology and chemistry of myelin. This in-depth publication delves into interdisciplinary topics, taking readers on a journey from the cellular level to the genetic level, exploring the intricacies of myelination.

Understanding Demyelinating Diseases

The book sheds light on research into demyelinating diseases, including those occurring naturally and experimentally induced. Autoimmune and virally induced mechanisms are emphasized, providing valuable insights into the underlying causes of these diseases.

Molecular Biology Advancements

Advances in molecular biology are also discussed, including the structures of major myelin proteins, the control of their synthesis, and the mutations within their genes that disrupt the myelination process. These details provide a deeper understanding of the complex biology of myelin.

A Valuable Resource for Researchers

“Myelin: Biology and Chemistry” is an essential addition to the libraries of molecular biologists, biochemists, cell biologists, physical chemists, immunologists, virologists, and pathologists involved in the study of myelin. With its comprehensive coverage of recent research, this book is an invaluable resource for those seeking to advance their understanding of this complex field.
