Millions of myelin-producing cells have been mapped in the mouse brain, advancing our understanding of nervous system ...
Johns Hopkins scientists say they have used 3D imaging, special microscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) programs to ...
Researchers say study identifies location of oligodendrocytes in the brain, and integrates information about gene expression and the structural features of neurons.
In the central nervous system of humans and all other mammals, a vital insulating sheath composed of lipids and proteins around nerve fibers helps speed the electrical signals or nerve impulses that ...
When myelin breaks down, white matter in the brain deteriorates, a change commonly seen with aging. At the same time, microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, can shift from protective responders ...
Multiple sclerosis is a condition whereby the immune system attacks and destroys myelin – the protective coating of nerve fibers – which triggers movement problems characteristic of the disease. Now, ...
Researchers have developed and are testing a promising new imaging technique that could eventually help diagnose and monitor treatment in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). New evidence in mouse ...
Scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) have demonstrated how human glial progenitor cells (hGPCs) transplanted into animal models of multiple sclerosis, and other white matter ...

The myelin sheath is a protective covering that surrounds fibers called axons, which are the long thin projections that extend from the main body of a nerve cell or neuron. This sheath is composed of ...
In long-lived animals, renewed but thin myelin sheaths are enough to restore the impaired nervous system and can do so for years after the onset of disease, scientists have discovered. In the central ...
