Researchers have identified two compounds capable of repairing the protective myelin sheath damaged by multiple sclerosis, a major advance toward reversing nerve injury rather than just slowing it.

Researchers have identified two compounds, K102 and K110, that could repair the nerve damage from multiple sclerosis. These drugs help regenerate the protective myelin sheath and balance immune ...

In a new study, mice bearing a gene deletion associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) showed evidence of slower cognition. Another finding: cells that make myelin, a sheath around nerves that ...

Despite being one of the most common and well-known neurodegenerative diseases, multiple sclerosis (MS) remains difficult to treat. However, new research from scientists at Cincinnati Children’s ...

A preclinical study by biomedical scientists at the University of California, Riverside, has shown why some people with ...

The disruption of axons—the thread-like part of nerve cells that transmits electrical signals—is associated with Alzheimer's disease. One way axonal function may be hindered is through damage to the ...

Researchers have found that Schwann cells, a special type of cells are capable of generating protective myelin sheath covers for the nerves at rates higher than earlier believed. Senior author Dr.

The project builds on earlier research involving a compound called indazole chloride, known for promoting remyelination and modulating the immune system in mouse models of MS. While effective, ...
