The PNS contains a number of distinct glial cells, each of which is intimately associated with different parts of the neuron or with ... a positive regulator of myelin sheath thickness, but ...

From the smallest fragment of brain tissue, the intricate blueprint of the entire brain is beginning to emerge. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine are making several time-consuming aspects of ...

Moreover, researchers found that PNS microglia directly enwrap neuronal somas in peripheral ganglia, forming a Neuron-PNS Microglia-Satellite Glial Cell trio model. This revises the traditional Neuron ...

Multiple sclerosis occurs when the immune system abnormally attacks the insulation and support around nerve cells (myelin sheath) in the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord and optic nerves), ...

MS occurs when the immune system abnormally attacks the insulation and support around nerve cells (myelin sheath) in the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord and optic nerves), causing ...

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

Brain scans of marathon participants show that when cerebral glucose is dangerously low, certain neurons might start consuming myelin. This fatty sheath surrounds the ... It seems that some brain ...

The discovery of the role of autoimmunity in glaucoma and retinal ganglionic cell (RGC) death has led to a paradigm shift in our understanding of the etiopathology of glaucoma. Glaucoma can cause ...

MS is marked by inflammation in the brain and spinal cord that causes damage to the myelin sheath, a fatty substance surrounding nerve fibers that’s important for nerve cell communication.

Krause and Annette de Kloet, an associate professor of neuroscience, worked with CNCD research staff to study brain cells in mice ... proteins to control neuron activity with light.
