Research reveals how high salt intake disrupts regulatory T cells through specific gene activation, potentially increasing ...

How does our nervous system operate so quickly and efficiently? The answer lies in a membranous structure called myelin. Aa Aa Aa All our activities — eating, walking, talking — are controlled ...

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

The study was published this week in the journal Nature Communications. The drug, LL-341070, enhances the brain's ability to repair damaged myelin— the protective sheath around nerve fibers. Damage to ...

Researchers have created a four-dimensional brain map that reveals how MS-like lesions form, providing new insights into the ...

Demyelination refers to damage to the myelin around nerves. Myelin coats many nerves in the body, but it can become damaged due to inflammation from viral infections, autoimmune diseases ...

The study, titled "CSF Proteomics Reveals Changes in Myelin and Synaptic Biology Following Spectris™ Treatment," offers compelling evidence of Spectris™’ ability to modulate core biological pathways ...

A recent drug discovery could eventually help the visually impaired and those suffering from multiple sclerosis, traumatic stroke, and Alzheimer’s disease regain some of their vision and mental ...

We have recently discovered that mechanical forces generated by the extracellular matrix and other cells are also essential for correct myelination, and we are actively pursuing the molecular ...

Conditional knock-out mice in which Myrf is knocked out in the OL lineage cells completely fail to develop CNS myelin and exhibit severe neurological symptoms, eventually prematurely dying. Recently, ...
