Researchers from the F.M. Kirby Neurobiology Center in the US have discovered a new approach to restore myelin sheaths, the fatty substance that surrounds nerve cells. The findings may be able to aid ...

Researchers have identified two experimental medications that may be able to promote myelin repair in people with MS, a study ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have uncovered a biological process that increases the production of myelin—the fatty ...

How oligodendrocytes use fatty acid metabolism as an energy reserve to maintain axonal function and myelin stability when glucose is scarce, offering insights into neurodegenerative disease mechanisms ...

In the brain, it is not only important that nerve cells send signals, but also how quickly they can do so. In order for information to flow smoothly, a kind of biological insulation is necessary. The ...

Researchers have identified two compounds capable of repairing the protective myelin sheath damaged by multiple sclerosis, a major advance toward reversing nerve injury rather than just slowing it.

Marathon runners experience reversible changes in their brain myelin. These findings indicate that myelin (a substance that surrounds the neurons) exhibits behavior that was previously unknown, and ...

Schizophrenia is a severe and debilitating psychiatric disorder characterized by hallucinations, disorganized speech and ...

Signs of myelin damage in the brain are detectable about seven years before the onset of MS symptoms, a new study reveals.

Aging is associated with progressive white matter degeneration, which impairs brain structure and function. Defects in ...
