Myelin, the protective sheath around nerve fibers, plays a crucial role in brain communication. It ensures fast and efficient ...

When interleukin-12 is added to the cell culture, it leads to a significant reduction in nerve fibers (pink) and oligodendrocytes, and thus to a decline in myelin (white).

Although there are several molecular or morphological differences between nerve fibers in the PNS and CNS, the basic myelin sheath arrangement and the electrophysiological characteristics are ...

In MS, slowly expanding lesions were linked to more myelin loss in brain regions of damage and in normal-appearing brain ...

Toluidine blue staining. Myelin is stained in blue. The nerve tract is filled with ring-shaped structures, indicating a transverse section of myelinated nerve fibers. (D) Electron microscopy of a ...

Niamh McNamara recently completed her PhD on microglial regulation of myelin integrity at the University of Edinburgh. She is now pursuing postdoctoral research at the Netherlands Institute for ...

racking neuronal fibers in the central nervous system is critical for understanding ... Staining Protocols The earliest examination of brain anatomy involved staining protocols to label neurons, ...

A long fibre (axon) which is insulated by a fatty (myelin) sheath. They are long so they can carry messages up and down the body. Tiny branches (dendrons) which branch further as dendrites at each ...
