The process in which the structure and material content of mature central nervous system myelin is kept in a functional state.

The process in which the structure and material content of mature peripheral nervous system myelin is kept in a functional state.

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cell proliferation.

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the cyclical phases of growth (anagen), regression (catagen), quiescence (telogen), and shedding (exogen) in the life of a hair.

Establishment of the epithelial barrier, the functional barrier in the skin that limits its permeability.

Establishment of the epithelial barrier, the functional barrier in the skin that limits its permeability.

A lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it an attached to it.

The irregular network of unit membranes, visible only by electron microscopy, that occurs in the cytoplasm of many eukaryotic cells. The membranes form a complex meshwork of tubular channels, which are often expanded into slitlike cavities called cisternae. The ER takes two forms, rough (or granular), with ribosomes adhering to the outer surface, and smooth (with no ribosomes attached).

The lipid bilayer surrounding the endoplasmic reticulum.

A lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it an attached to it.

A lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it an attached to it.
