Researchers have identified a protein that naturally slows myelin production — a finding that could lead to ways to repair myelin damage in multiple sclerosis (MS) and other neurological disorders. In ...

On Wednesday, Microsoft released the complete source code for Microsoft BASIC for 6502 Version 1.1, the 1978 interpreter that powered the Commodore PET, VIC-20, Commodore 64, and Apple II through ...

Targeting a protein called SOX6 could be an effective way to promote myelin repair in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), a study found. Researchers said the results point to a way for new therapies ...

Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have identified laminin-411 and A4G47, a synthetic peptide derived from the E8 domain of laminin-411 protein, as the key factors in the maturation of ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have identified a gene that plays a crucial role in the brain's ability to form the protective layer around nerves known as myelin, potentially ...

Alzheimer’s disease damages myelin, but exactly what it does to this insulating material remains somewhat mysterious. In the June 13 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by Jaime Grutzendler at Yale ...

Summary: A new study has identified the protein hnRNP A1 as a key player in the production and maintenance of myelin, the fatty sheath that insulates nerve fibers in the brain. Myelin loss is common ...

Research published in the Journal of Neurochemistry has detailed the role of a protein, hnRNP A1, in the formation and stability of myelin, suggesting an important impact on neurodegenerative diseases ...

Researchers conducted MRIs on 10 runners within 2 days of a run Post-run, myelin levels in the brain 'substantially decrease' Myelin can serve as an energy source A group of researchers studied how ...

An investigational drug for multiple sclerosis from Io Therapeutics has restored leg mobility and myelin nerve coatings in mice, the biotech announced Dec. 23. The Texas-based company conducted the ...

A research group has discovered that in mammals, a protein kinase A (PKA) promotes wakefulness, while protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and calcineurin promote sleep. This study revealed that the balance ...
