Oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system exhibit significant variability in the number of myelin sheaths that are supported by each cell, ranging from 1 to 50 (1-8). Myelin production during development is dynamic and involves both sheath formation

“Low‐Positive” MOG‐IgG Cases Among Adults With a First Event Suggestive of Multiple Sclerosis
ABSTRACT Objective To determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of patients with “low‐positive” (LP) MOG‐IgG (titres 1:160–1:320) among adults with a first demyelinating event (FDE) suggestive of multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods From the Barcelona CIS inception cohort, we included adult patients with serum collected ≤ 6 months from the FDE.

Investigating mechanisms of myelin sheath length regulation and plasticity [PDF]
Myelination of axons is important for proper functioning of the nervous system and breakdown of myelin can cause severe disabilities. By regulating nerve conduction, myelination is also critical for learning and memory processes.

Clemastine improves optic nerve myelin sheath regeneration and visual function in aged mice
Objective To investigate the changes in myelin sheath of optic nerve in mice during the process of aging and explore the effect of clemastine, a pro-myelination drug, on visual function of aging mice.

Alterations of Oligodendrocyte and Myelin Energy Metabolism in Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS), characterized by demyelination and neurodegeneration. Oligodendrocytes play a vital role in maintaining the integrity of myelin, the protective sheath around ...

Thermoresponsive Soft and Self‐Anchoring Cuff Electrode for Chronic Peripheral Interfaces
A novel thermoresponsive, soft and self‐anchoring (TSSA) cuff electrode utilizing shape memory polymers achieves autonomous, sutureless peripheral nerve fixation. Driven by thermally induced pre‐strain and tissue adhesion, the device self‐closes and softens at body temperature, successfully minimizing mechanical mismatch. This adaptive platform ensures

Myelin histology: a key tool in nervous system research
The myelin sheath is a lipoprotein-rich, multilayered structure capable of increasing conduction velocity in central and peripheral myelinated nerve fibers. Due to the complex structure and composition of myelin, various histological techniques have been

The septin cytoskeleton is associated with distinct myelin structures of the central and peripheral nervous system [PDF]
Rapid conduction of nerve impulses in the nervous system of higher vertebrates is made possible by ensheathment of nerve fibers by the specialized plasma membrane structure myelin. Consequently, failure of myelination or damage to the myelin sheath leads

This study presents a magneto‐mechanical strategy that incorporates FP@MSCs into an aligned PCL/GelMA nerve guidance conduit. Magnetic stimulation increases membrane tension in FP@MSCs, triggering cytoskeletal remodeling, Schwann cell‐like differentiation, and TIMP1 secretion. TIMP1 activates ITGB1/CD63–FAK signaling in NE‐4C cells, increasing membrane
