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 to the ...

Central pontine myelinolysis is a neurological disorder. It results from damage to the myelin sheath of your brain cells in certain regions — usually the central pontine region — of your brain. The ...

Researchers from the F.M. Kirby Neurobiology Center in the US have discovered a new approach to restore myelin sheaths, the fatty substance that surrounds nerve cells. The findings may be able to aid ...

Researchers have found that Schwann cells, a special type of cells are capable of generating protective myelin sheath covers for the nerves at rates higher than earlier believed. Senior author Dr.

A research team led by neurobiologist Professor Claire Jacob has identified an important mechanism that can be used to control the restoration of myelin sheaths following traumatic injury and in ...

Nerve fibers are surrounded by a myelin sheath. Scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now made the first-ever "live" observations of how this protective layer is formed. The team ...

Alzheimer’s disease damages myelin, but exactly what it does to this insulating material remains somewhat mysterious. In the June 13 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by Jaime Grutzendler at Yale ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In rat sciatic nerves, a small bundle of fibers was identified in which myelin sheaths were absent at birth, appeared within 3 days, and grew ...

Myelin, a sheath of insulation around nerves that enables electrical impulses to efficiently travel through the central nervous system, is diminished in mice that have a gene deletion associated with ...

In today’s fast-paced world, many individuals struggle with nerve pain and discomfort that can hinder daily activities and overall quality of life. NeuroGenica has emerged as a popular solution to ...
