In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

Evogene and Unravel Biosciences are collaborating to use AI to speed the development of therapies that promote myelin sheath ...

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 ...

Find Therapeutics secured CA$10 million in funding to continue advancing tasronetide, its treatment to restore damaged myelin ...

Researchers headed by a team at Campbell Family Mental Health Research Institute Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) reported promising data from preclinical in vivo studies evaluating a ...

Efficient removal of abnormal myelin allows survival of nerve fibers targeted by adaptive immune cells, according to a novel study. Myelin is an insulating sheath around axons -- the processes ...

You might well think that myelin, the fatty insulation that speeds action potentials between neurons, falls solely under the purview of oligodendrocytes. After all, these specialized cells wrap ...

According to the World Health Organization, suicide is the fourth leading cause of death of 15- to 29-year-olds. About 1.9 million people between the ages of three and 17 are diagnosed with depression ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...

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 ...
