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 ...

Researchers have identified two experimental medications that may be able to promote myelin repair in people with MS, a study ...

About 100,000 of the estimated million people in the United States with multiple sclerosis (MS) have a progressive form of ...

A preclinical study by biomedical scientists at the University of California, Riverside, has shown why some people with ...

Researchers have identified two compounds capable of repairing the protective myelin sheath damaged by multiple sclerosis, a major advance toward reversing nerve injury rather than just slowing it.

About 100,000 of the estimated million people in the United States with multiple sclerosis (MS) have a progressive form of ...

Observing the structure and regeneration of the myelin sheath in peripheral nerves following injury and during repair would help in understanding the pathogenesis and treatment of neurological ...

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 idea that infiltrating T cells contribute to a neurodegenerative environment in aging and in Alzheimer’s disease has gotten another boost. In the June 27 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by ...
