WHILE examining the histochemistry of the optic nerve, we observed beaded transverse band-like areas, which were more dense than the other areas in the myelin sheath in osmium-tetroxide-fixed ...

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

We found that nearly every optic nerve fiber was remyelinated with a thin myelin sheath, which is important for understanding human disease because in multiple sclerosis, the optic nerve is often ...

Key indicators of autophagy were not elevated in the optic nerve in contrast to the sciatic, suggesting that the failure of the CNS to clear myelin is associated with reduced activation of autophagy.

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

A new study has found direct evidence that an over-the-counter antihistamine can repair the protective nerve sheath that’s damaged in people with multiple sclerosis. The researchers also ...

Optic neuritis is a common symptom of multiple sclerosis (MS) that affects your eyes and vision. Learn more about the symptoms, causes, diagnosis, treatment, and complications of optic neuritis.

We found that nearly every optic nerve fiber was remyelinated with a thin myelin sheath, which is important for understanding human disease because in multiple sclerosis, the optic nerve is often the ...

A biological pathway through which myelin, the protective coating on nerve fibers, can be repaired and regenerated has been discovered in a new study. The ramifications of this finding could be ...

Key indicators of autophagy were not elevated in the optic nerve in contrast to the sciatic, suggesting that the failure of the CNS to clear myelin is associated with reduced activation of autophagy.

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

Myelin sheath thickness of both large axons (>0.8 μ m 2) and small axons (<0.8 μ m 2) of the optic nerve in the control, anaemic, and recovered rats at postnatal day 32.
