Researchers from the F.M. Kirby Neurobiology Center in the US have discovered a new approach to restore myelin sheaths, the fatty substance that surrounds nerve cells. The findings may be able to aid ...

Nerve fibers are surrounded by a myelin sheath. Scientists have now made the first-ever 'live' observations of how this protective layer is formed. Nerve fibers are surrounded by a myelin sheath.

If gut bacteria are too similar to the protective layer of nerves, they can misdirect the immune system and cause it to attack its own nervous system. This mechanism can accelerate the progression of ...

WHILE examining the histochemistry of the optic nerve, we observed beaded transverse band-like areas, which were more dense than the other areas in the myelin sheath in osmium-tetroxide-fixed tissues ...

Nerve fibers are surrounded by a myelin sheath. Scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now made the first-ever "live" observations of how this protective layer is formed. The team ...

Multiple sclerosis is a serious neurological condition that has no known cure. Although the causes are far from being known, we do know that the immune system erroneously attacks the protective ...

A compound developed at Oregon Health & Science University appears to protect nerve fibers and the fatty sheath, called myelin, that covers nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The discovery, ...

Victims of abuse during childhood are statistically more vulnerable to stress-related psychiatric conditions across their lifespan. This uptick in mental health problems among children who are abused ...
