Researchers have found that new myelin-making cells are constantly being made in the brain and spinal cord, even in the ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

Multiple sclerosis, a neuroinflammatory disease that affects nearly 3 million people worldwide, causes a loss of myelin, the fatty sheath that covers nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Chronic ...

A team at Johns Hopkins Medicine has focused their work on myelin development using oligodendrocytes to help study conditions like MS.

In a groundbreaking study, researchers with the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) have identified a distinct histone tag in adult oligodendrocyte progenitor ...

[New York, January 31, 2025] – Mikael Simons, MD, a neurologist and researcher at Technical University Munich and the Centre for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) in Munich, Germany is the winner of ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the nervous system that can lead to muscle weakness, vision loss, and paralysis. It occurs when the immune system attacks the myelin sheath that ...

You might well think that myelin, the fatty insulation that speeds action potentials between neurons, falls solely under the purview of oligodendrocytes. After all, these specialized cells wrap ...

A decade after UC San Francisco scientists identified an over-the-counter antihistamine as a treatment for multiple sclerosis, researchers have developed an approach to measure the drug's ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...
