Recent research introduces a soft, injectable material designed for use in the eye to help protect and support damaged ...

A new study reveals that neural stem cell grafts can generate new myelin in the central nervous system, offering hope for ...

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 ...

Glaucoma is an irreversible neurodegenerative disease, where intraocular hypertension is developed due to the increased aqueous humor and blockage of the drainage system between the iris and cornea.

UAE doctors warn that summer heat can worsen health issues. People with neurological and cardiovascular diseases are at ...

A deep learning model is capable of using optic disc photos to predict changes to their RNFL, a risk factor for glaucoma.

Myelination in the opossum optic nerve: late appearance of inhibitors implicates an earlier non-myelin factor in preventing ganglion cell regeneration. J Comp Neurol 1996; 372:27–36.

We describe an automated method to locate the optic nerve in images of the ocular fundus. Our method uses a novel algorithm we call fuzzy convergence to determine the origination of the blood vessel ...

Large cups in normal-sized optic discs: A variant of optic nerve hypoplasia in children with periventricular leukomalacia. Arch Ophthalmol 1997; 115: 1263–1269.

Right next to these gaps are "paranodes," where the myelin sticks tightly to the nerve, helping anchor it in place and organize the nerve for fast, accurate signaling.

Figure 2. On days 7 and 14 after surgery, the changes in the sciatic nerve myelin ultrastructure and fluorescence in each group of rats were randomly observed. (A) Electron microscope at ×5,000 ...
