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

In the PNS, one Schwann cell forms a single myelin sheath (Figure 1A). By contrast, in the CNS, the oligodendrocyte sends cell processes to myelinate multiple segments on many axons (Figure 2).

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

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

Studying human oligodendrocytes, which provide insulation for nerve cells, has been challenging. But a new way of generating stem-cell-derived, three-dimensional brain-cell cultures is paying off.

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

John Svaren discusses myelin and myelin-producing cells in the nervous system. John Svaren, Associate Professor, Department of Comparative Biosciences, UW-Madison, discusses his research of myelin ...

Subpopulations of oligodendrocytes, myelin-producing cells in the brain that are targeted by the immune system in multiple sclerosis (MS), are altered in MS and might therefore have additional ...

Iron accumulation in myelin-producing cells called oligodendrocytes is also a marker of Alzheimer's, as excess iron can result in oxidative stress, affecting myelin—an insulating layer that ...

The therapy is able to reverse the damage to the myelin producing glial cells and restore function. The treatment has been licensed to Ionis Pharmaceuticals and is slated for clinical trials in ...
