A genetic mutation that helps animals like yaks and Tibetan antelopes survive at high altitudes may hold the key to repairing ...

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 ...

Oligodendrocytes, the myelinating cells of the central nervous system (CNS), play a crucial role in myelin generation, maintenance, and repair after CNS injuries and in demyelinating diseases. Beyond ...

Oligodendrocytes are an important source of amyloid beta (Aβ) and play a key role in promoting neuronal dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD), according to a study published July 23, 2024 in the ...

Researchers say study identifies location of oligodendrocytes in the brain, and integrates information about gene expression and the structural features of neurons.

If neurons are wires, myelin is the insulation that wraps around them; without it, current loss occurs and the circuit weakens. This is analogous to what happens in demyelinating diseases such as ...

New research may help scientists locate immature cells in the central nervous system that could shed light on the causes of neurodegenerative diseases like multiple sclerosis - and autoimmune disease ...
