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

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 ...

How does our nervous system operate so quickly and efficiently? The answer lies in a membranous structure called myelin. Aa Aa Aa All our activities — eating, walking, talking — are controlled ...

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

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, ...

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

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

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

Dr. Pablo M. Paez is a Principal Investigator of the Institute for Myelin and Glia Exploration and Assistant Professor in Pharmacology and Toxicology in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical ...

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

MS is a neurological disease. It causes the immune system to attack and destroy myelin, a protective fatty tissue surrounding nerve cells. This process, called demyelination, affects the function ...
