A genetic mutation that helps animals like yaks and Tibetan antelopes survive at high altitudes may hold the key to repairing nerve damage in conditions such as cerebral paralysis and multiple ...

Researchers have pinpointed a gene mutation associated with survival at high altitudes that could restore myelin to damaged ...

A genetic mutation tied to keeping the brain healthy at high altitudes may point to a way to repair nerve damage, experiments in mice show.

The discovery could open up new ways for treating diseases such as MS by leveraging molecules that are already present in the human body.

Johns Hopkins scientists say they have used 3D imaging, special microscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) programs to construct new maps of mouse brains showing a precise location of more than 10 ...

New research reveals that psilocybin and MDMA promote long-term PTSD recovery by physically remodeling myelin insulation in ...

Psychedelic drugs such as psilocybin and MDMA may help repair the brain’s insulating myelin layer, according to new research.

Millions of myelin-producing cells have been mapped in the mouse brain, advancing our understanding of nervous system disorders.

Myelin is a lipid sheath that insulates nerve fibers carrying signals throughout the brain and body. When this sheath becomes damaged, the passage of these crucial signals is disrupted, leading to ...

The results of newly reported preclinical research indicate that a genetic mutation that helps animals including yaks and Tibetan antelopes survive at high altitudes may hold the key to repairing ...

Recent research on marathon runners found a reduction in an important brain substance called myelin after the race. The study author explains how this may actually benefit cognitive health, rather ...
