In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells - one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...

Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have identified laminin-411 and A4G47, a synthetic peptide derived from the E8 domain of laminin-411 protein, as the key factors in the maturation of ...

Scientists have found a lipid transporter crucial to regulating the cells that make myelin, the nerve-protecting sheath. Scientists from Singapore have demonstrated the critical role played by a ...

Scientists have found that the process of adaptive myelination, which helps the brain learn new skills, can also promote addiction to opioids. Our brains, even in adulthood, continually adapt to what ...
