Researchers have found that new myelin-making cells are constantly being made in the brain and spinal cord, even in the ...

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

A brain protein called ANO2 has emerged as a new piece of the puzzle linking Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections and MS ...

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, ...

Researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine, utilizing mouse models, reveal that oligodendrocyte precursor cells differentiate at a consistent, extensive rate throughout adulthood.

A study led by Cambridge researchers has shed light on how neural stem cell grafts could help restore myelin in the central nervous system. The findings suggest that neural stem cell-based therapies ...

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 ...

An FDA-approved drug for high blood pressure, guanabenz, prevents myelin loss and alleviates clinical symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) in animal models, according to a new study. The drug appears ...

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