A preclinical study published in Biological Psychiatry has found that repeated low doses of psilocybin and MDMA reshape ...

Multiple sclerosis risk increases with Epstein-Barr virus infection and HLA-DR15 genetic variant. EBV infection causes B-cells with HLA-DR15 to "display" myelin proteins, triggering immune attacks.

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells. How genes are turned on ...

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 ...

There has been a growing interest in the role of oligodendrocytes (OLs) and the myelin sheaths they form around axons in cognitive function. Historically, OLs were primarily considered to be involved ...

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 ...

This article is based on a poster originally authored by Sunidhi Shetty, Narasimha Murthy Bandaru, Anna Moberg and Marco Manni, which was presented at ELRIG Drug Discovery 2024 in affiliation with ...
