New research reveals that Alzheimer's disease may impair nerve function not by reducing myelin, but by altering the proteins ...

To better understand any pathological processes related to Alzheimer's disease that might affect the myelin sheath, Yale researchers analyzed proteins in human brain tissue, focusing on the sub ...

Researchers have identified structural abnormalities at the myelin-axon interface in Alzheimer's that may hinder electrical signaling.

Sometimes it is shown as irregular bands radiating through the myelin sheath to the neurilemma, sometimes as a network particularly at the surface of the fibre or around the axon.

Scientists have developed a new treatment that may help regenerate myelin around nerve cells, and potentially reverse the damage caused by multiple sclerosis (MS).

A research team has identified an important mechanism that can be used to control the restoration of myelin sheaths following traumatic injury and in degenerative diseases. With the insights ...

Demyelinating diseases are any conditions that damage the protective coating on nerve cells, the myelin sheath. Some common demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system include multiple ...

A new study shows that an inhibitor called ESI1 could potentially treat multiple sclerosis and other conditions associated with demyelination.
