Demyelination is the process in which the myelin sheath — a protective, insulating layer surrounding nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord — is damaged or lost. This disruption interferes with the ...

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 ...

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

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

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

A new study reveals that neural stem cell grafts can generate new myelin in the central nervous system, offering hope for ...

A study by Cambridge researchers has shed light on how neural stem cell grafts could help restore myelin in the central nervous system. The findings suggest that neural stem cell-based therapies hold ...

Employing pharmacology, genetics and all-optical approaches in zebrafish, Braaker et al. find that neuronal activity influences the growth of myelin sheaths along axons by signaling through ...

The gold-plated sheath has nine sides and measures about 1 foot in length, officials said. It was made in Japan between 550 and 650 and originally used to cover the blade of a long-handled spear.
