The Myelin Sheath: Shape ... occur by genetic abnormalities that affect glial cells. Regardless of its cause, myelin loss causes remarkable nerve dysfunction because nerve conduction can be ...

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

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

Research published in the Journal of Neurochemistry has detailed the role of a protein, hnRNP A1, in the formation and ...

The molecular mechanisms underlying myelin sheath destruction in multiple sclerosis ... Many of the therapeutic approaches targeting pathogenic T–cell responses in EAE models have not yet ...

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.

These join to other nerve cells, allowing them to pass messages around the body. They have a fatty (myelin) sheath that surrounds them. The fatty sheath increases the speed at which the message ...

Myelin is a fatty substance that surrounds and insulates nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord, forming a sheath that facilitates the rapid transmission of electrical signals between neurons.

Researchers from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN) have discovered new potential therapeutic targets for ...
