A study by Cambridge researchers has shed light on how neural stem cell grafts could help restore myelin in the central nervous system. The findings suggest that neural stem cell-based therapies hold ...

Myelin sheath protein changes linked to impaired nerve signaling in Alzheimer's disease by Isabella Backman, Yale School of Medicine ...

Historically, optic nerve involvement has been excluded from MS diagnostic criteria, but its inclusion in the new iteration is expected to significantly accelerate time to diagnosis.

We examined the optic nerves of neonatal and young adult GF, OMM12 and CGM mice to determine whether there were alterations in nerve fiber morphology, number, dimension and myelin sheath morphology ...

Cataracts, a common eye condition characterized by clouding of the lens, often lead to blurred vision and, if left untreated, ...

In this study, fully myelinated optic nerves from 2-month-old transgenic mice expressing fluorescent proteins in oligodendrocytes or astrocytes were analyzed under glucose deprivation conditions.

Scientists have developed a new treatment that may help regenerate myelin around nerve cells, and potentially reverse the damage caused by multiple sclerosis (MS).

It primarily affects the central nervous system including the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. In India, this disease ...

According to a new study, optic nerve lesions are evident in up to 40% of imaging studies in patients with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) of multiple sclerosis (MS), and the addition of the ...

Myelinated nerve fibers (MNF) are present in 0.57%-1% of the population and consist of retinal areas where nerve fibers have a myelin sheath. Ophthalmoscopically, MNF are described as gray-white ...

The vision of mice with damaged optic nerves has been partly restored by generating new nerve cells in the eye to replace ones that died. The hope is this approach could help treat people with ...
