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

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.

Unlike traditional painkillers that only mask symptoms, NeuroGenica focuses on repairing and strengthening Schwann cells, which are essential for maintaining the myelin sheath around nerves.

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 ...

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

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

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

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.

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