A research group has uncovered a potential mechanism linking maternal inflammation to delayed neurodevelopment in infants. The research suggests the role of CD11c-positive microglia -- immune cells in ...

According to a study published by Nature Metabolism, marathon runners experience reversible changes in their brain myelin.

Some mutant animals with defects in myelin proteins and lipids have been discovered or generated, providing useful disease models for hereditary demyelinating disorders. Further research is ...

A new study reveals that inflammation during pregnancy may impair neurodevelopment in infants by reducing CD11c-positive microglia—key immune cells that support brain myelination.

Marathon running causes a temporary decline in brain myelin content, but levels return to normal within two months. This reversible change may reflect the brain tapping into myelin lipids as an ...
