Researchers have identified two compounds capable of repairing the protective myelin sheath damaged by multiple sclerosis, a major advance toward reversing nerve injury rather than just slowing it.

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have discovered a new biological mechanism that enhances the production of myelin—a substance essential for proper brain function and nerve communication.

Researchers have identified two experimental medications that may be able to promote myelin repair in people with MS, a study ...

Researchers have identified two compounds, K102 and K110, that could repair the nerve damage from multiple sclerosis. These drugs help regenerate the protective myelin sheath and balance immune ...

Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have identified laminin-411 and A4G47, a synthetic peptide derived from the E8 domain of laminin-411 protein, as the key factors in the maturation of ...

The project builds on earlier research involving a compound called indazole chloride, known for promoting remyelination and modulating the immune system in mouse models of MS. While effective, ...

In the brain, it is not only important that nerve cells send signals, but also how quickly they can do so. In order for information to flow smoothly, a kind of biological insulation is necessary. The ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have identified a promising therapeutic candidate that ...

Scientists know that social isolation can alter brain structure and lead to the breakdown of myelin, the fatty coating that insulates nerve fibers in the brain. But they don't yet know exactly how or ...
