Evogene and Unravel Biosciences are collaborating to use AI to speed the development of therapies that promote myelin sheath ...

How oligodendrocytes use fatty acid metabolism as an energy reserve to maintain axonal function and myelin stability when glucose is scarce, offering insights into neurodegenerative disease mechanisms ...

Find Therapeutics secured CA$10 million in funding to continue advancing tasronetide, its treatment to restore damaged myelin ...

You might well think that myelin, the fatty insulation that speeds action potentials between neurons, falls solely under the purview of oligodendrocytes. After all, these specialized cells wrap ...

Recent research on marathon runners found a reduction in an important brain substance called myelin after the race. The study author explains how this may actually benefit cognitive health, rather ...

In endurance athletes, some brain power may come from an unexpected source. Marathon runners appear to rely on myelin, the fatty tissue bundled around nerve fibers, for energy during a race, ...

Efficient removal of abnormal myelin allows survival of nerve fibers targeted by adaptive immune cells, according to a novel study. Myelin is an insulating sheath around axons -- the processes ...

A study of marathon runners, carried out by the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), CIC biomaGUNE and IIS Biobizkaia, reveals the unexpected behavior of myelin Exercise for a long period of ...

Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 4B1 (CMT4B1) is a severe autosomal recessive demyelinating neuropathy with childhood onset, caused by loss-of-function mutations in the myotubularin-related 2 (MTMR2) gene.
