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

"It seems that the total amount of the myelin in the myelin sheaths is relatively preserved," says Grutzendler. Nerves are coated in myelin, but have tiny gaps called "nodes of Ranvier" where the ...

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 ...

Employing pharmacology, genetics and all-optical approaches in zebrafish, Braaker et al. find that neuronal activity influences the growth of myelin sheaths along axons by signaling through ...

India slipped two positions to 131 out of 148 countries in the Global Gender Gap Report 2025. Its gender parity score is 64.1 per cent, among the lowest in South Asia.
