A new, more life-like physical model of microscopic nerve fibers called axons could speed up the discovery of medicines for ...

A study led by Cambridge researchers has shed light on how neural stem cell grafts could help restore myelin in the central nervous system. The findings suggest that neural stem cell‐based therapies ...

Scientists are testing a drug that may offer hope for reversing nerve damage in MS. MANICO/Getty Images When immune cells attack the myelin sheath, this causes inflammation and interrupts the passage ...

Researchers headed by a team at Campbell Family Mental Health Research Institute Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) reported promising data from preclinical in vivo studies evaluating a ...

A research team led by neurobiologist Professor Claire Jacob has identified an important mechanism that can be used to control the restoration of myelin sheaths following traumatic injury and in ...

Researchers have demonstrated that enhancing myelin renewal in the brains of transgenic APP/PS1 mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) can improve their task-related hippocampal activity. "To the ...
