Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have identified a type of enzyme with a complicated name. Cell migration inducing and hyaluronan-binding protein (CEMIP) is associated with disorders ...

Inhibition of an ESI1 target promotes oligodendrocyte myelin production in mice, as shown as a dense curtain of green strands. This small molecule shows early promise as a potential treatment for MS, ...

A subset of the stem cells in hair follicles have the potential to regenerate the coating that insulates neurons in mice, reports Thomas Hornyak of the VA Maryland Health Care System and the ...

Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have developed a compound that promotes repair of the nerve cell-protective myelin sheath that is damaged in diseases such as multiple sclerosis ...

Several new reports have recently detailed new ways to treat multiple sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system erroneously attacks the insulating shield that surrounds nerve ...

Myelin, the protective sheath around nerve fibers, plays a crucial role in brain communication. It ensures fast and efficient transmission of electrical signals. When damaged, this insulation breaks ...
