Myelin sheath, a sleeve that protects a part of your nerve cells, and how it's related to multiple sclerosis. Read to learn more about its functions and how to protect it from damage.

A new study shows that an inhibitor called ESI1 could potentially treat multiple sclerosis and other conditions associated with demyelination.

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 ...

A new study has found direct evidence that an over-the-counter antihistamine can repair the protective nerve sheath that’s damaged in people with multiple sclerosis. The researchers also ...

New research reveals that Alzheimer's disease may impair nerve function not by reducing myelin, but by altering the proteins ...

Discover foods that support nerve regeneration and repair damaged neural tissue. Learn how specific nutrients rebuild myelin and restore proper nerve function.

Small molecule shows early-stage promise for repairing myelin sheath damage Date: May 2, 2024 Source: Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center Summary: A breakthrough study appears to ...

Scientists have developed a new treatment that may help regenerate myelin around nerve cells, and potentially reverse the damage caused by multiple sclerosis (MS).

Demonstrating benefits in mice and lab-grown human tissue In both aging mice and mice mimicking MS, the ESI1 treatment prompted myelin sheath production and improved lost neurological function.

Myelin is an insulating layer of lipids and proteins surrounding nerves. Myelin damage can cause problems with the nerves’ ability to send and receive electrical messages. Inflammatory disorders ...
