Neural stem cell treatment was safe and significantly boosted myelin repair in spinal cord lesions in a mouse model of MS, ...

The myelin lamella is formed by fusion of the apposed inner leaflets of the plasma membrane in glial cells, with no intervening cytoplasm (Figure 1B).

Scientists suggest quantum entanglement in myelin sheaths generates consciousness, offering a groundbreaking new perspective ...

very narrow space of the myelin sheath," Grutzendler says. Their analyses revealed protein differences between tissue affected by Alzheimer's disease and that of healthy individuals. Some of these ...

Nerve fibers are surrounded by a myelin sheath. Scientists have now made the first-ever 'live' observations of how this protective layer is formed.

Scientists have identified a role in myelin production for a synapse that connects neurons and oligodendrocyte precursor cells.

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

Myelin is an insulating sheath around axons - the processes connecting nerve cells - that is mostly composed of lipids and proteins. It enables rapid conduction of electrical signals and supports ...

New research suggests that the role of the "sheath" molecule myelin, which coats axonal projections extending from brain cells, may be more complex than first thought in multiple sclerosis.
