Much like the insulation around the wires in electrical systems, glial cells form a membraneous sheath surrounding axons called myelin, thereby insulating the axon. This myelination, as it is ...

A new study has identified the protein hnRNP A1 as a key player in the production and maintenance of myelin, the fatty sheath ...

CIC biomaGUNE, and IIS Biobizkaia reveals unexpected behavior in myelin. Prolonged physical exercise forces the human body to draw on its energy reserves. During endurance activities like marathon ...

Research published in the Journal of Neurochemistry has detailed the role of a protein, hnRNP A1, in the formation and ...

‘Scientists have discovered the crucial role of the hnRNP A1 molecule in maintaining #myelin sheath integrity. Could this be a new avenue for understanding #schizophrenia? #Neuroscience # ...

Myelin is a fatty substance produced by oligodendrocytes (cells of the central nervous system) that forms a sheath, like a kind of “insulator.” It “protects” the extensions of neurons ...
