“If we learn how the proteins that make up the myelin sheath are affected in the diseased state compared to a non-diseased state, we might be able to figure out what’s going on when the disease ...

Neurodegeneration in myelin disease: No myelin is better than bad myelin Date: November 28, 2023 ... 2021 — A compound appears to protect nerve fibers and the fatty sheath, called myelin, ...

To better understand any pathological processes related to Alzheimer's disease that might affect the myelin sheath, Yale researchers analyzed proteins in human brain tissue, focusing on the sub ...

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

Myelin is an insulating sheath around axons - the processes connecting nerve cells - that is mostly composed of lipids and proteins. It enables rapid conduction of electrical signals and supports ...

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

MOG is found on the protective myelin sheath of nerve cells. When antibodies attack MOG, it causes damage to myelin, leading to demyelination.When nerves become demyelinated, they don’t function ...

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

Myelin is an insulating sheath around axons - the processes connecting nerve cells - that is mostly composed of lipids and proteins. It enables rapid conduction of electrical signals and supports ...

When ocrelizumab became the first FDA-approved treatment for early forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2017, it offered ...

It primarily affects the central nervous system including the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. In India, this disease ...
