A recent study has found that high endurance sports, such as running, can alter and temporarily damage the brain. The study, ...

A new study has identified the protein hnRNP A1 as a key player in the production and maintenance of myelin, the fatty sheath ...

Demyelination is the condition in which preexisting myelin sheaths are damaged and subsequently lost, and it is one of the leading causes of neurological disease (Figure 2). Primary demyelination ...

The molecular mechanisms underlying myelin sheath destruction in multiple sclerosis ... a specific myelin protein mediate target membrane damage in central nervous system demyelinating disease.

According to a study published by Nature Metabolism, marathon runners experience reversible changes in their brain myelin.

Study uncovers how the protein hnRNP A1 may impact myelin stability, offering new clues in schizophrenia development.

MWF is calculated by measuring the proportion of water trapped between the lipid bilayers of the myelin sheath relative to the total water ... of depletion and recovery could lead to cumulative damage ...

New research shows that running a marathon can cause a temporary reduction in brain myelin, the fatty substance that insulates neurons and supports efficient communication.

Myelin is a fatty substance produced by oligodendrocytes (cells of the central nervous system) that forms a sheath ... the axons "unplugged" and causing damage to brain function.

Researchers conducted MRIs on 10 runners within 2 days of a run Post-run, myelin levels in the brain 'substantially decrease' Myelin can serve as an energy source A group of researchers studied ...

in which the disappearance of myelin and, therefore, of its energy contribution, facilitates structural damage and degeneration," said Matute. At the same time, the researchers are keen to stress ...
