A research group led by Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan has uncovered a potential mechanism linking maternal inflammation to delayed neurodevelopment in infants. The research ...

Neurologist George Bartzokis argues that the brain's miles of myelin are a key evolutionary change that may make us vulnerable to highly prevalent neuropsychiatric disorders. He argues that ...

New imaging research represents a "crucial first step" toward understanding abnormal myelination believed to underlie disorders such as autism and schizophrenia.

Breaks in the myelin disrupt the flow of electrical impulses, causing loss of sensation and coordination. “There are several specific monophasic disorders, such acute disseminated encephalomyelitis ...

Human brain cells created by reprogramming skin cells are highly effective in treating myelin disorders, a family of diseases that includes multiple sclerosis and rare childhood disorders called ...

The research could lead to the development of treatment for disorders where the myelin sheath is damaged and could also help in understanding how OPCs transform into brain cancer cells.

The new study, published in the journal Brain and spearheaded by University of Cambridge scientist Dr Luca Peruzzotti-Jametti ...

Researchers have discovered a new way the brain processes and communicates information that could lead to improved learning in those suffering neurological disorders or recovering from brain injuries.

Children, adolescents, and unborn babies exposed to high levels of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) face increased risks of ...

New Research Identifies Key Driver of Myelination in the Brain New research could lead to novel treatments for demyelinating disorders such as multiple sclerosis.

Researchers developed an iPSC-derived peripheral myelination model, advancing research into rare diseases impacting the PNS and potential treatments.
