Nerve fibers are surrounded by a myelin sheath. Scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now made the first-ever "live" observations of how this protective layer is formed.

The p53 Pathway Controls SOX2-Mediated Reprogramming in the Adult Mouse Spinal Cord. Cell Reports, 2016; 17 (3): 891 DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2016.09.038 ...

The laminin-411 protein is vital for the formation of the myelin membrane by oligodendrocytes, report researchers from Japan.

Over days, weeks, and even months, the neuroscientists recorded images of the same rodent brains, focusing on the nerve cell branches known as dendrites. In particular, the groups studied each ...

Neurod4 converts endogenous neural stem cells to neurons with synaptic formation after spinal cord injury. iScience, 2021; 24 (2): 102074 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2021.102074 ...

The laminin-411 protein is vital for the formation of the myelin membrane by oligodendrocytes, report researchers from Japan.

Dr. Zhang's lab focuses on glial cells, the most abundant non-neuronal type of cells in the central nervous system. Glial cells support nerve cells in the spinal cord and form scar tissue in ...

Key takeaways: Phase 3 clinical trial included 134 adults with full neuroaxis MRI and no new NMOSD symptoms. At 28 weeks, 15% of patients on Uplizna had asymptomatic spinal cord lesions, which ...

Now there’s a striking new demonstration of how one approach might work: Spinal nerve stimulation helped rats in a Swiss lab overcome paralysis to walk and climb stairs.
