Myelin, the protective sheath around nerve fibers, plays a crucial role in brain communication. It ensures fast and efficient ...

In MS, slowly expanding lesions were linked to more myelin loss in brain regions of damage and in normal-appearing brain ...

Myelin biology and repair refers to the science of myelin physiology, manufacture, and how myelin damage in either the peripheral or central nervous systems can be repaired. Myelin – produced by ...

A discovery led by OHSU was made possible by years of study conducted by University of Portland undergraduates. Scientists ...

We have recently discovered that mechanical forces generated by the extracellular matrix and other cells are also essential for correct myelination, and we are actively pursuing the molecular ...

You disconnect your cell phone from its charger as you get ready for a busy day. But even though it has been connected all night, the battery is only partially charged. You look at ...

Conditional knock-out mice in which Myrf is knocked out in the OL lineage cells completely fail to develop CNS myelin and exhibit severe neurological symptoms, eventually prematurely dying. Recently, ...

"The primary motivation behind our recent paper was a very speculative idea that myelin may have evolved as a highly ...

A new multiple sclerosis (MS) research project designed to help the brain repair itself by activating its own healing ...

Ocrevus treatment was linked to increases in myelin and reductions in iron in MS patients with paramagnetic rim lesions, per ...

Researchers have created a four-dimensional brain map that reveals how MS-like lesions form, providing new insights into the earliest stages of the disease.
