Myelin sheath, a sleeve that protects a part of your nerve cells, and how it's related to multiple sclerosis. Read to learn more about its functions and how to protect it from damage.

Neural stem cell treatment was safe and significantly boosted myelin repair in spinal cord lesions in a mouse model of MS, ...

Right next to these gaps are "paranodes," where the myelin sticks tightly to the nerve, helping anchor it in place and organize the nerve for fast, accurate signaling.

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

While comparing neurons and transistors is a convenient metaphor (and not completely out of left field), the brain is ...

The University of Cincinnati joins a Phase 1 clinical trial testing CAR-T cell therapy for MS, exploring this cancer ...

Quantum Biopharma filed an innovation passport application in the U.K. to expedite the development and review of MS therapy ...

The myelin sheath that surrounds and protects nerve cells is made by cells called oligodendrocytes. In a person with MS, these cells are lost, so damaged myelin sheaths cannot be repaired.

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

These specialized fats constitute major structural components of myelin sheaths wrapping nerve fibers. Swiss chard contains betalains —nitrogen-containing pigments with anti-inflammatory ...

Myelin sheath protein changes linked to impaired nerve signaling in Alzheimer's disease by Isabella Backman, Yale School of Medicine edited by Lisa Lock , reviewed by Robert Egan ...
