Myelination of axons in the nervous system of vertebrates enables fast, saltatory impulse
propagation, one of the best-understood concepts in neurophysiology. However, it took a …

Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare X‐linked disease caused by a mutation of the
peroxisomal ABCD1 gene. This review summarizes our current understanding of the …

Reduction-oxidation or “redox” reactions are an integral part of a broad range of cellular
processes such as gene expression, energy metabolism, protein import and folding, and …

Mitochondria play a vital role in cellular metabolism and are central mediator of intracellular
signalling, cell differentiation, morphogenesis and demise. An increasingly higher number of …

The leukodystrophies are a group of inherited white matter disorders with a heterogeneous
genetic background, considerable phenotypic variability and disease onset at all ages. This …

Peroxisomes contain numerous enzymatic activities that are important for mammalian
physiology. Patients lacking either all peroxisomal functions or a single enzyme or …

The nonenzymatic adduction of malondialdehyde (MDA) to the protein amino groups leads
to the formation of malondialdehyde-lysine (MDALys). The degree of unsaturation of …

Axonal loss is the key pathological substrate of neurological disability in demyelinating
disorders, including multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the consequences of demyelination …

Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare X-linked disorder of peroxisomal oxidation due to
mutations in ABCD1. It is a progressive condition with a variable clinical spectrum that …

The disturbance in mitochondrial functions and homeostasis are the major features of
neuron degenerative conditions, like Parkinson's disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis …
