The CEMIP enzyme inhibits the growth of oligodendrocytes and may serve as a therapeutic target to boost myelin repair in MS, ...

ROCHESTER, Minn. -- Mayo Clinic researchers have found that a human antibody administered in a single low dose in laboratory mouse models can repair myelin, the insulating covering of nerves that when ...

Researchers hope that a more targeted retinoid acid X receptor compound could repair myelin without the adverse effects seen in every patient in this trial, which tested an already approved cancer ...

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 breakthrough study appears to overcome difficulties that have long frustrated previous attempts to reverse a form of nerve damage that robs people with MS of motor control and gradually blunts ...

The laminin-411 protein is vital for the formation of the myelin membrane by oligodendrocytes, report researchers from Japan. Furthermore, the A4G47 peptide from the E8 region of laminin-411 was found ...

Myelin loss disrupts the coordination of signals between brain regions, impairing the accurate processing of information, researchers found.

When laboratory mice suffer brain damage, e.g., from an injection, research group leader Jan Deussing has observed that a ...
