      Ruskamo, Salla; Raasakka, Arne; Pedersen, Jan Skov; Martel, Anne; Škubník, Karel; Darwish, Tamim; Porcar, Lionel; Kursula, Petri (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The myelin sheath is an essential, multilayered membrane structure that insulates axons, enabling the rapid transmission of nerve impulses. The tetraspan myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) is the most abundant protein of ...
    • Membrane Association Landscape of Myelin Basic Protein Portrays Formation of the Myelin Major Dense Line 

      Raasakka, Arne; Ruskamo, Salla; Kowal, Julia; Barker, Robert; Baumann, Anne; Martel, Anne; Tuusa, Jussi; Myllykoski, Matti; Bürck, Jochen; Ulrich, Anne S.; Stahlberg, Henning; Kursula, Petri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07-10)
      Compact myelin comprises most of the dry weight of myelin, and its insulative nature is the basis for saltatory conduction of nerve impulses. The major dense line (MDL) is a 3-nm compartment between two cytoplasmic leaflets ...
