Myelin biology and repair refers to the science of myelin physiology, manufacture, and how myelin damage in either the peripheral or central nervous systems can be repaired. Myelin – produced by ...

Damage to myelin, the protective sheath surrounding nerve fibers, impairs the brain's ability to transmit signals efficiently. This condition, known as demyelination, disrupts motor function, sensory ...

and maintaining the myelin sheath. This fundamental knowledge laid the groundwork for subsequent research on myelin repair that is happening around the world. “I am incredibly honored to receive ...

Demyelination refers to damage to the myelin around nerves. Myelin coats many nerves in the body, but it can become damaged due to inflammation from viral infections, autoimmune diseases ...

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 ...

The drug, LL-341070, enhances the brain's ability to repair damaged myelin— the protective sheath around nerve fibers. Damage to myelin is a hallmark of diseases like MS, as well as a natural ...

The myelin sheath is a compact, multilamellar, lipid-rich membrane surrounding the axons of neurons in the peripheral and central nervous systems (PNS and CNS, respectively). Myelin sheaths insulate ...

It is well-documented that lipids have multiple structural and functional roles, including signaling (1, 2), maintenance of membrane structure (3, 4), myelin sheath formation (5, 6), neurotransmission ...
