Nerve damage affects millions of people worldwide, creating symptoms ranging from mild tingling to severe pain and loss of function. While conventional treatments often focus on managing symptoms, ...

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.

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 ...

The disruption of axons—the thread-like part of nerve cells that transmits electrical signals—is associated with Alzheimer's disease. One way axonal function may be hindered is through damage to the ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting more than 2.9 million people worldwide. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath, the protective ...
