Researchers identified a protein in mouse models that acts as a brake on myelin production, which could be a target for new ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have discovered a new biological mechanism that enhances the production of myelin—a substance essential for proper brain function and nerve communication.

Researchers report that ancient viruses may be to thank for myelin -- and, by extension, our large, complex brains. The team found that a retrovirus-derived genetic element or 'retrotransposon' is ...

That’s the conclusion of UB scientists after deleting from the adult brain a protein necessary for early development. They found that this deletion actually fosters the growth of cells that generate ...

While the vast majority of myelin sheaths in the brain are laid down early in life, a pair of new studies published February 10 in Nature Neuroscience reveal that a fresh supply of the fatty axonal ...

The cerebrospinal fluid from young mice is awash with factors that keep the brain sharp. Now, scientists led by Tony Wyss-Coray at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, report that when ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Timing is everything. That’s the conclusion of University at Buffalo scientists after deleting from the adult brain a protein necessary for early development. They found that this ...
