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 ...

If gut bacteria are too similar to the protective layer of nerves, they can misdirect the immune system and cause it to attack its own nervous system. This mechanism can accelerate the progression of ...

Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have identified laminin-411 and A4G47, a synthetic peptide derived from the E8 domain of laminin-411 protein, as the key factors in the maturation of ...

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 ...

Inhibition of an ESI1 target promotes oligodendrocyte myelin production in mice, as shown as a dense curtain of green strands. This small molecule shows early promise as a potential treatment for MS, ...
