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

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

Myelin sheath protein changes linked to impaired nerve signaling in Alzheimer's disease by Isabella Backman, Yale School of Medicine ...

While comparing neurons and transistors is a convenient metaphor (and not completely out of left field), the brain is ...

Researchers have identified structural abnormalities at the myelin-axon interface in Alzheimer's that may hinder electrical signaling.

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

Nodal enrichment of voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSC) serves to generate inward current of the action potential, and the internodal compact myelin sheath reduces the internodal capacitance, ...

It is an essential component of the plasma membrane and therefore critical for myelin sheath formation and synaptic plasticity. Accordingly, defects in CNS cholesterol metabolism are strongly ...

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