A new study reveals that inflammation during pregnancy may impair neurodevelopment in infants by reducing CD11c-positive ...

Intense endurance workouts can make your brain "eat" its own fat! But don’t worry—it bounces back in two months.

A recent study reveals that the human brain, when lacking energy, might draw from its own fatty tissues. This discovery ...

Microglia dysfunction and cell death in the brain not only paralleled vascular inflammation, but also marked sites of damage to synapses and myelin sheaths that play a crucial role in neuronal ...

Ernst Wolvetang, a biologist at the University of Queensland who has been working on stem cell research for decades, notes that the neuron clumps that Cortical Labs use are relatively simple.

We further demonstrated that anakinra ameliorated the disorganization and degeneration of myelin sheath, and reduced the neuron damage in cochlea of EH mice. Discussion: Consequently, anakinra ...

Myelin biology and repair refers to the science of myelin physiology, manufacture, and how myelin damage in either the peripheral or central nervous systems can be repaired. Myelin – produced by ...

Loss or damage of the myelin layer – as is the case for multiple sclerosis, a chronic neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system – can cause serious disability.

Between the three groups, there were significant differences in the nerve conduction velocity, compound action potential amplitude, myelinated nerve fiber number, myelin sheath thickness ... methods ...

Oligodendrocytes (OLs) myelinate axons and provide electrical insulation and trophic support for neurons in the central nervous system (CNS). Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is critical for ...
