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

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

Ferroelectric field-effect transistor (FeFET)-based circuit implementation mimicking FitzHugh-Nagumo neuron is proposed in this work. The proposed circuit is shown to mimic biological neuron ...

Therefore, this work will study three models, the example of the exact model, and its verification using the step model to find the analytical relation between the sheath charge and the overall ...

Acquired inflammatory central nervous system (CNS) disorders include multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), optic ...

In this image, an axon appears in green, while abnormal protein clumps (amyloid, red) lodge in tiny channels within the myelin sheath. Amyloid aggregates form filament-like strands across the ...

New research reveals mitochondrial impairment as a key factor in myelin loss and brain damage associated with multiple sclerosis, highlighting potential treatment avenues.

Researchers have identified structural abnormalities at the myelin-axon interface in Alzheimer's that may hinder electrical signaling.

These problems—less energy, loss of myelin, and damaged neurons—start early, but the actual death of the brain cells tends to happen later, as the disease becomes more severe.

An experimental medication boosted motor function in mice and primate models of multiple sclerosis by repairing the myelin sheath.
