Researchers mapped myelin-making cells in mice, showing some brain regions recover better after myelin damage.

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hesperos, a leader in recreating human biology with its’ Human-on-a-Chip ® platform, has announced a breakthrough development of a human induced pluripotent stem cell ...

Demyelinating diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, present a substantial and ...

Groundbreaking neurocognition research is sharpening the scientific focus on a once little-understood process in early childhood: myelination. As studies reveal how this critical brain mechanism ...

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 ...

Identifying the root of any given disease is often the first step in developing effective therapies. Neurodegenerative diseases are notoriously difficult to study and treat. Conditions like multiple ...

The microbes in the gut influence mood and cognition through the gut-brain axis. New research reveals that the intestinal ...

A single brain is unfathomably complex. So brain researchers, whether they're looking at datasets built from 300,000 neurons in 81 mice or from MRIs of 1,200 young adults, are now dealing with so much ...

A new study from Spain reveals that babies born to mothers exposed to higher air pollution levels in pregnancy show signs of slower brain myelination, a subtle but telling shift in how early brain ...

Scientists have found that the process of adaptive myelination, which helps the brain learn new skills, can also promote addiction to opioids. Our brains, even in adulthood, continually adapt to what ...
