The term demyelination refers to the loss of the myelin sheath that surrounds and protects axons in the central nervous system. Demyelination occurs as the result of diseases that damage the myelin ...

Findings from this retrospective study have shown that cerebral white-matter demyelination and cortical neuronal degermation can be independent factors in myelocortical MS. While cerebral white-matter ...

A rare case describes onset of myasthenia gravis, neuromyelitis optica, and anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor in one woman, ...

Myelin is a protective layer that forms around nerves to insulate them and speed transmission of electrical impulses. Demyelination, loss of this insulating layer, contributes to many neurological ...

Demyelination – a term that might sound like scientific jargon but has real-world implications for many. Demyelination occurs when the protective covering of nerve fibers in the brain, spinal cord, ...

Myelin is a substance that forms an insulating sheath around the axons of nerve cells in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Myelin is mainly made up of lipids and in the central nervous ...

Scientists have long known that both microglia and blood-derived macrophages play roles in how the central nervous system responds to demyelination, which occurs in multiple sclerosis. A new study ...

Remyelination of demyelinated central nervous system (CNS) axons is considered as a potential treatment for multiple sclerosis, and it has been achieved in experimental models of demyelination by ...

Classic chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is characterized by the occurrence of symmetrical weakness in both proximal and distal muscles that progressively increases for more than two ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Lewis rats immunized with P² protein, a 14.5-kDa protein of the peripheral nerve myelin, develop experimental allergic neuritis, a paralytic ...
