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

Marathon runners experience reversible changes in their brain myelin. These findings indicate that myelin (a substance that surrounds the neurons) exhibits behavior that was previously unknown, and ...

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 ...

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.

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.

This is the molecule that cells use to transfer energy ... Nave and his colleagues hypothesized that myelin, a protective fatty layer that encloses axons (i.e., nerve fibers) in the vertebrate ...
