New research reveals that high glucose levels drive stem cells to multiply, while low levels signal them to mature into ...

The amount of sugar in the brain plays a key role in governing the activity of the brain cells that make myelin, a study ...

They also zoomed in on a key enzyme called ACLY. Think of it as a middleman that helps convert glucose into a form cells can use to grow and divide. By disrupting this enzyme, researchers could see ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...

Myelin is a sheath around the nerves made by certain brain cells called oligodendrocytes. These cells arise from progenitor ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have discovered a new biological mechanism that boosts the production of myelin - the fatty substance that insulates nerve fibers (axons) and enables rapid, ...

A preclinical study published in Biological Psychiatry has found that repeated low doses of psilocybin and MDMA reshape oligodendrocyte-lineage cells, the brain’s myelin producers, while reducing ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells - one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...

Shifting brain glucose levels act as a metabolic switch that directs OPC proliferation and myelin formation, revealing a mechanism with developmental and clinical implications.

Researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) have uncovered a surprising link between low brain sugar levels and the development of myelin - the ...

Researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) have uncovered a surprising link between low brain sugar levels and the development of myelin—the protective ...

Adaptability may be the defining characteristic of our species — not our large brains, our long legs, or our ability to make tools, but our ability to rapidly learn new skills and behaviours in ...
