New research reveals that Alzheimer's disease may impair nerve function not by reducing myelin, but by altering the proteins ...

To better understand any pathological processes related to Alzheimer's disease that might affect the myelin sheath, Yale researchers analyzed proteins in human brain tissue, focusing on the sub ...

A new study reveals that neural stem cell grafts can generate new myelin in the central nervous system, offering hope for ...

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 ...

A study led by Cambridge researchers has shed light on how neural stem cell grafts could help restore myelin in the central ...

A study by Cambridge researchers has shed light on how neural stem cell grafts could help restore myelin in the central nervous system. The findings suggest that neural stem cell-based therapies hold ...

Myelin – produced by Schwann cells in the periphery and oligodendrocytes in the CNS – is defective in diseases such as multiple sclerosis, and many myelin repair strategies aim to mitigate ...

An experimental medicine, 2-D08, boosts motor function in mice and primate models of multiple sclerosis (MS) by repairing the myelin sheath, the protective coating on nerve fibers that’s damaged ...
