Researchers have developed a novel microscopy imaging technique to assess damaged myelin across large areas of brain tissue, ...
The longtime weather anchor, 55, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2005, said she’ll also be taking a break from ...
Case Western University scientists were gifted $2.5 million to advance MS research into whether glial cells can be targeted to repair myelin.
Nerve fibers are surrounded by a myelin sheath. Scientists have now made the first-ever 'live' observations of how this protective layer is formed. Nerve fibers are surrounded by a myelin sheath.
The disruption of axons—the thread-like part of nerve cells that transmits electrical signals—is associated with Alzheimer’s disease. One way axonal function may be hindered is through damage to the ...
Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) is a rare autoimmune condition in which the body's ...
The amount of myelin lost in the gray matter of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients’ brains may indicate a more debilitating form of the disease, according to a new study. MS has long been considered an ...
Researchers have found that Schwann cells, a special type of cells are capable of generating protective myelin sheath covers for the nerves at rates higher than earlier believed. Senior author Dr.
Researchers hope that a more targeted retinoid acid X receptor compound could repair myelin without the adverse effects seen in every patient in this trial, which tested an already approved cancer ...
