Much like the insulation around the wires in electrical systems, glial cells form a membraneous sheath surrounding axons called myelin, thereby insulating the axon. This myelination, as it is ...

Based on the findings previously collected by Bellen and other researchers, Nave and his colleagues hypothesized that myelin, ...

"Our results indicate that iron overload in the oligodendrocytes is an inducer of ferroptosis; physical exercise reduces inflammaging [chronic, low-grade inflammation] and improves axon-myelin ...

Nogo is a myelin-derived axon outgrowth inhibitor, but its role in the repair of the central nervous system has been unclear. In 30 May Nature, Tadzia GrandPre and colleagues from Yale University ...
