Guillain-Barré Syndrome occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks nerve cells, disrupting communication between ...

This important study identifies a new key factor in orchestrating the process of glial wrapping of axons in Drosophila wandering larvae. The evidence supporting the claims of the authors is convincing ...

The neurologist explains the link between Guillain-Barre Syndrome and paralysis, and the initial symptoms to watch out for.

Damage to myelin, the protective sheath surrounding nerve fibers, impairs the brain's ability to transmit signals efficiently ...

Using transmission electron microscopy, we further found lamellar myelin structures within the arterial media, and the number of myelin sheaths was higher in the ... including those implicated in axon ...

establish an in vitro model for dorsal root ganglion (DRG) axonal asymmetry, revealing that central and peripheral axon branches have distinct patterns ... The primary antibody rabbit anti-myelin ...

Damage to myelin around nerves is called demyelination. Demyelination can cause issues like: The axon sends messages from one neuron to the next and connects neurons to other cells, such as muscle ...

Myelinated axons are present in sensory neurons and motor neurons ... Kaller MS, Lazari A, Blanco-Duque C, Sampaio-Baptista C, Johansen-Berg H. Myelin plasticity and behaviour-connecting the dots.

Myelin is an insulating layer of lipids and proteins surrounding nerves. Myelin damage can cause problems with the nerves’ ability to send and receive electrical messages. Inflammatory disorders ...

2015), it is widely accepted based on experimental documentation that an autoimmune response to various components of the myelin sheath is a hallmark of this disease (Schultz et al., 2017). It has ...
