A team at Johns Hopkins Medicine has focused their work on myelin development using oligodendrocytes to help study conditions like MS.

Demyelinating diseases are any conditions that damage the protective coating on nerve cells, the myelin sheath. Some common demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system include multiple ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...
